Co-President of FVSA, I have been a board member since the wintery weather of April 2009. I enjoy Indian food and drinking several cups of espresso every day. I enjoy travelling to foreign places and speaking French, but I'm terribly afraid of heights. I intend to major in SAC and minor in British History.

Jillian, FVSA Publicity Chair, writes everything like a doctor scribbling out a prescription, thus allowing for copious amounts of tinkering with the facts listed in her submitted bio. Jillian thinks her existence is actually way too boring to be publishing a personal bio, here or anywhere else. She likes movies a bit, fixes broken people in the hospital, and barely maintains 2 lovely pet fish. "In conclusion, my tweets are scathingly clever; check them out - stat.

Matt actually owns a Macbook Pro now...

Matt Hornback

Concentration: Screen Arts and Cultures

Year: Senior

Position: Paid Consultant/ Webmaster

 

Former ruler and Co-President of the FVSA, Sir Hornback saw his power base destablized by the arrival of the "Young Turks," an inaptly named group of barbarian student invaders who swept the FVSA Board in general elections. Although the elections were widely disputed, Hornback stood little chance once his close friend and ally, Joel Arnold, was struck down in an untimely fashion by the "Swine Flu," better known as Man-Bear-Pig syndrome, or Hogwarts Transfiguration.

The SAC senior has since retreated into nerdom, clinging to his last remnant of political capital: the ability of web design, and, of course, the only comprehensive knowledge of all associated usernames and passwords. His virtual cave further extends to the realms of animation, both 2d cave painting and 3d moving sculpture, with a purpose towards a career in VFX. He also has interests in screenwriting and Video Games.

Chelsea_Bio

 

Chelsea Rebecca

Concentration: Screen Arts and Cultures

Minor: German

Year: Sophomore

Position: Secretary/Archivist

Chelsea is a Screen Arts and Cultures major who is also planning to minor in German. She quite enjoys taking obsessively neat notes for FVSA. In her free time, Chelsea loves to draw, paint, and generally leave art-related messes all over her room. She can be easily swayed from doing her homework by the promise of a Hugh Jackman movie. Perhaps deceptively nice, her nauseatingly pleasant disposition is highlighted by the multitude of small singing forest creatures that help her get dressed in the morning.
