VICE President · James Ha
treasurer · Yousef El-Magharbel
Yousef was born in Ann Arbor, MI but raised in Southern California. Honoring his Michigander roots, he decided to ditch the SoCal beach vibes and attend the University of Michigan where he double majored in Bassoon Performance and Performing Arts & Technology.
A man of sophistication, Yousef spends his time outside of class fighting the urge to climb any structure he comes across, bumping 80s soul/funk music (The Whispers - favorite band), or eating obscene amounts of food with friends and family. If you see this guy on campus, just know he is always down to defend his Connect 4 champion title (self proclaimed), make a beat for anybody who solicits, or talk about the current random thing he’s attempting to build in his garage.

Representative · Badruddin J. Mahamed
badruddin.mahamed@med.wayne.edu
Badruddin (pronounced better-uh-dean) is from Los Angeles, where he spent the last 10 years or so, but he was born in Wisconsin and spent his early childhood in North Carolina and Oregon. Badruddin graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.S. in Quantitative Biology. During undergrad, he worked full-time night shifts as an Emergency Department Technician at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where he found his passion in caring for pediatric patients and the superhuman powers granted by Celsius energy drinks.
Outside of med school, you can catch Badruddin playing volleyball, keeping up with politics through late night comedy shows, and writing spoken word poetry on the Muslim-American male experience. While Los Angeles has been his home for a while now, is enjoying the Badruddin cheaper prices and far less traffic in Detroit. He is excited to make Michigan his home for the next four years and maybe even beyond (although it hasn’t snowed yet so maybe ask him if he still wants to stay after that).
Representative · Jesse Hawkins
Jesse Hawkins was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, where he attended University of Detroit Jesuit High School. He earned his B.S. in Biology from the Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University in 2024. During his gap year, Jesse worked next door to Wayne State University School of Medicine at DMC Hospital, gaining valuable experience as both a medical scribe and healthcare project manager.
A hands-on learner with a strong work ethic, Jesse enjoys staying active—whether that means tackling a manual labor project, playing sports, or exploring new places through travel. Now as a proud member of the WSU School of Medicine Class of 2029, he’s excited to serve his peers as a student representative and make a meaningful impact throughout the year.
