Amanda Xi is part of the Charter Class of 2015 at the Oakland University William Beaumont (OUWB) School of Medicine in Rochester, MI. She was an Acceleration to Excellence Program Scholar at Bard College at Simon’s Rock and after transferring to the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), graduated with a B.S.E. and M.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering. While at Michigan, she was active in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and ran the Engineering Club at a local underserved middle school. Since starting medical school, Amanda has developed a passion for social media (http://www.amandaxi.com) and graphic design (http://mddet.etsy.com).

Amanda’s involvement in AMWA started the summer before her first year when she spearheaded the establishment of AMWA at OUWB. Under her support, dedication and leadership as Founding President for two consecutive years, she established numerous outreach, women’s health education and networking events. The organization has connected her with inspirational individuals, expanded her professional network, provided a medium for leadership development and kept her afloat during difficult times.

As a Conference Co-Chair, she looks forward to increasing student attendance, integrating social media and expanding on student-specific programming at the 99th Annual Meeting.
