Join me, Owen Raisch, President of the Student-Run Business Association (SRBA), in an insightful conversation with Ria Kokkengada, the new Student Vice President of SRBA and a junior at Wharton, University of Pennsylvania (the #1 business school by many metrics).

Ria shares insights you'll appreciate, covering her experience as CEO of Penn Student Agencies where she manages student-run businesses and balanced rigorous academics with impactful leadership roles. Plus, we cover how she navigated high school to gain acceptance into Wharton, her strategies for effective student leadership, and practical advice for high school and college students aspiring to follow a similar path.

This isn't just about Ria's past, though. We also dig into her plans as VP for SRBA and why she thinks you need to attend SURGE Expo25 at Penn.
