'''Aki Terasaki''' [[Columbia College|CC]] [[2012|'12]] was the president of the [[Columbia College Student Council]] from [[2011]] - [[2012]].  He was elected in [[2010]] along with his [[CUCharge]] party in the [[CCSC Elections, 2011|2011 CCSC elections]].  Similar to [[Learned Foote]] from the previous year, his party did not win a majority of the vote in the first round, triggering an instant-runoff, wherein his party emerged successful after obtaining 51.5% of the vote in the second round.

He also served as president of the [[Columbia Japan Society]] his junior year.

During his tenure as president, he successfully led the council in implementing some programs that had previously been only pilots, such as [[Open Housing]].  His council was also responsible for the first holistic review of financial aid, the simplification of the student group co-sponsorship process, and return of the "CCSC project grants" begun under [[Sue Yang]].  His term was perhaps overshadowed by the sudden resignation of Columbia College Dean [[Michelle Moody-Adams]], but his council managed to coordinate with Interim Dean [[James Valentini]] to finish out the year.

Aki majored in [[economics]] with a special concentration in [[linguistics]].
