Hi everyone! My name is Alvin Shuh, and I'm a fourth-year Global Studies major with a minor in Music. My current interests are centered around international conflict resolution and East and Southeast Asian politics. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, trying new restaurants, and traveling. Being a part of DPhiE over the past four semesters at Berkeley has given me some of the most rewarding personal and professional experiences of my life, and I'm honored to serve as this semester's president!

Hi all, I’m Shunyata Lysenko, but you can call me Shuni (he/him), and I’m the social chair for this semester, so I look forward to some of the parties and events I and my co-chair have planned! I’m a third-year at Berkeley majoring in political science with the intention of minoring in public policy. Although, fun fact: I’m taking a little time off this election season to help elect Vice President Harris and assist other Democratic campaigns. I was born in Nelson, Canada, but grew up all over the place, from Berkeley and Oakland to Prague in Czechia, and have now returned to California to study. I love hiking and camping, watching movies, thrifting, cooking, baking for friends and family, fencing, traveling to new places, and visiting friends abroad. Delta Phi Epsilon is a wonderful group and fraternity of like-minded individuals, all seeking to make a difference in the world, and my favorite memory from my time with them so far has to be when we all went to a Giants game together in San Francisco. I love baseball, and enjoying it with others, heading into the city, and partying afterward was terrific.
