Bio: Hiya, kids! I'm a fourth-year BACS major born in Boulder, CO and raised in Newport News, VA. During the day, when I'm not in class (which is often), I reside in the LGBT Resource Center, trying to avoid having to go home and do work or go to the gym and work out. During the night, I reside in Escafe, dancing on the bar. My dream job when I graduate is going to DC and doing systems/network work by day and bartending by night. My life's ambition is to be Karen Walker.

Bio: Hey, everyone! I'm Jenna, a fourth year from Lynchburg, VA. I'm a science-loving, music-listening, fashion-following wannabe, health conscious (trying, anyway!) chemical engineer to be! Above all, I love learning, meeting new people, and keeping social progress moving forward. I also love delicious food, spending time with friends, cute animals, sleeping as much as possible, and Neil Gaiman. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about QSU or LGBTQ issues in general!

Bio: Hello all! I'm a second year from Roanoke, VA, but I lived most of my life in upstate New York. I'm incredibly excited to be involved in QSU, and the LGBT community. I'm very laid back, and I love to laugh!
Secretary: Katie Mayfield
Year: 2
Major: Fiction writing
Interests: Technical theatre, reading and writing stories, civil rights activism, drawing comics, befriending the elderly, volunteering.
Bio: After dually failing at my childhood career aspirations of firefighter (asthma) and nun (an unfortunate lack of Catholicism), I've since discovered that writing and activism are a much better fit and, besides that, don't require such elaborate uniforms. I've been involved in queer activism since I came out at age 16 and hope to remain involved in furthering the LGBTQ cause for the rest of my life. If you've got any questions about the queer community here at UVa, feel free to send me an email!
Publicity Chair: John Marion
Year: 3
Major: Computer Science
Interests: Lights and music.
Bio: When I'm not hittin up the dankest concert in town I might be found discussing the finer points of revolutionizing America. During the latter I developed the ability to blow smoke rings. But really, what would Raúl do? I'm also working towards a Computer Science BA through the College. When considering what to study I limited the fields down to things I tolerate and ran with it. I'm interested specifically in computer design, ya know, graphic design and 3D modeling. Or things that might make me money. Sometimes I like nothing more than an iced chai (here's to Greenberry's, once again for plus dollars) and reading Time. I like Soccer and I recently started coaching little kids. Occasionally I sleep. Shout out to Deeva Shah.
