1. COSMIN SANDU
A few months ago, Cosmin graduated with an International Relations and European Studies from
the Faculty of Social Sciences at University from Craiova. Looking back at the past 3 years you can
easily observe that 100% of his development comes not from his studies, but from AIESEC.
Looking three years back, Cosmin was just a first year student at the University of Craiova, when
he found, in October 2009 an interesting opportunity with an international organization called
AIESEC. Shortly after joining AIESEC Craiova he realized that investing time, passion and trust in an
organization such as this one will be more rewarding and helpful than wasting time at Faculty
Classes.
Soon he realized that what he loves to do most in AIESEC, besides interacting with internationals
and finding out their stories, is meeting valuable, experienced people from companies and
learning more about the society we live in. So he started doing External Relations, selling himself
and his AIESEC experience and bringing an added value to the organization, not only through
partnerships that supported its activities, but also through brining people with knowledge,
experience and external perspective closer to AIESEC.
What mostly inspired Cosmin to work harder for AIESEC, were the people around him, people that
had stories to share, people with a drive, with a vision, people that achieved something and were
part of something greater than themselves. Motivated by such people, he took on the next
challenge, and ran for Vice-President External Relations of AIESEC in Craiova in the term 2011-
2012 and his ambition, passion and outstanding results got him that position. Further on, he
worked for one entire year to achieve higher results and create a sales culture. As an Executive
Board member he brought a realistic, analytical perspective and he was a team player.
After his term as a Vice-President, he realized AIESEC is so much more than just one area and he
realized that he has so much more to offer to the organization, so he ran for Local Committee
President with a great vision and a powerful drive and he achieved to lead, for one year, an
Executive Board team and a Local Committee, in the best way he knew.
Today, three years later, he wants to take it even higher, giving his contribution to AIESEC in
Romania, as MC Vice-President Sales.
