“I joined E-Club because I sought for people who shared the same drive for creativity as me. I found a community of diverse students with the shared trait of perseverance and strive for innovation. I found the community's willingness to help one another to be the most meaningful.”
Hi! I’m Tharun, and I’m an avid programmer, drummer, and music enthusiast. I’m co-president of Princeton Blockchain Club, and I’m super excited to help lead Crypto TigerTrek!

“I think one of the most significant issues Princeton faces is its isolation. The "Orange Bubble," as people call it, has had an interesting effect of turning the university and its student into an academic powerhouse. However, this also has a downside of stifling creativity. E-Club is one of the most prominent entities in all of Princeton, and I see it as the key to introducing innovation to the campus.”
I'm Jackie, a senior in the COS department. Since my freshman year, I've had a fascination with entrepreneurship and start-ups. I'm big into web and app-development and I'm one of the best people to talk to if you have questions about crypto or web3. I also enjoy collecting hats.
