Outside of school, she enjoys playing music, improving her sad MarioKart skills with her endlessly patient husband, skateboarding, making quilts, and dealing with the roller coaster of emotions that comes with turning into a Blue Jays fan after a lifelong allegiance to the Yankees (Alejandro Kirk 4 lyfe). She is currently accepting live music recommendations (most genres welcome). On a more serious note, she enjoys connecting students to resources on campus and encourages people to reach out if they have a need that they feel could be better met &#8211; she&#8217;s happy to advocate for further programming and resources within the\u00a0\u00a0GSA and to upper-level administration.\u00a0 You can contact her at <a href=\"mailto:gsa-president@buffalo.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gsa-president@buffalo.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt size-medium wp-image-80556 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2025\/03\/Sevda-Abdavinejad-Mirkoohi-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2025\/03\/Sevda-Abdavinejad-Mirkoohi-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2025\/03\/Sevda-Abdavinejad-Mirkoohi-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2025\/03\/Sevda-Abdavinejad-Mirkoohi-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2025\/03\/Sevda-Abdavinejad-Mirkoohi-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/gsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/137\/2025\/03\/Sevda-Abdavinejad-Mirkoohi-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">Sevda Abdavinejad Mirkoohi is the Vice President of the GSA.
