Fireside Chairs

The Fireside Chairs are the glue that holds Willard together, the cement that keeps building bricks in place, the sticky marshmallow gooeyness that makes a s'more delicious. Fireside chairs arrange for cool and informative speakers, including faculty members and Willardites themselves, to talk about incredibly mind blowing things for all the Willard community to hear. Topics range from beer-making to genetics to how to dance the Polka. For all they do, it's hard not to get emotional about the Fireside Chairs. The Fireside Chairs are members of the Executive Board.

Georgia McKay

Hometown: Nashville, TN
Major: Art History
Favorite Quote: "All good nights end at BK."

Danni Brancaccio

Hometown: Vancouver, WA (Not Canada!!)
Major: Undecided/Psych maybe?
Favorite Quote: Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it. -Bubba, Forrest Gump
About Georgia: Georgia is kindof a big deal. She likes art, music, cats, Diet Mountain Dew, the word "bro," and the CTA red line. She loves Northwestern, but misses the south (mainly ice tea and a climate that does not cause her seasonal depression). Her middle name is Snowden.
About Danni: Danni enjoys firesides with a fiery passion. She also enjoys bad puns. She hopes to see each and every Willardite come to experience firesides along with her, because, well, they pretty much rock. When not attending firesides Danni can be found wistfully thinking of the mountainous Northwest and watching old Friends Episodes.

Social Chairs

The social chairs plan events for Willard, social ones.

Sarah Schmidt

Hometown: Warrenville, Illinois
Major: Journalism
Favorite Quote: "Seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart." Carrie Bradshaw

Maya Mitchel

Hometown: Yardley, PA
Major: Psychology
Favorite Quote: "friends are the family you choose for yourself"
About them: They're besties

Academic Chairs

Academic Chairs-pretty much your godsend. We are you connection to Professors, tests files, academic concerns, class scheduling, and the like. Oh yeah, and that crazy polka party....yeah that's all us.

Jesse Bastiaens

Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Major: Hah...Like I know.

Katey Rusch

Hometown: Butternut, WI
Major: Journalism Dawg
About Jesse: Jesse is attempting, at all costs, to avoid reading the books he so gruelingly holds.
About Katey: Katey is a super-sexy superstar ready to show what being the shit is about. She can rap and rhyme and jib and jive. She's fun and fly and hip and hot. This is the girl you NEED to know.

Dance Marathon Chairs

Willard's Dance Marathon (DM) Chairs are in charge of organizing and coordinating all of Willard's DM efforts. The DM Chairs are members of the Central Board.

Joseph McClelland

Hometown: Bloomfield Hills, MI
Major: Undecided

Sean Pavlik

Hometown: Hendersonville, TN
Major: Environmental Sciences and International Studies
Favorite Quote: "Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God." -Vonnegut
About Joseph: Joe obviously loves smiling uncomfortably, an assortment of Häagen-Dazs products, and being a part of the Willard family. He is also really looking forward to DM and getting as many people involved as possible.
About Sean: Sean loves awkward dancing photos, sugary breakfast cereals, and the Woo-shack in general. He is really, really excited for DM 2008.

Publicity Chairs

Willard's Publicity Chairs are in charge of making sure the residents of Willard know about all the amazing events that are going on. Because there are definitely cool things happening here that people want to be a part of. All posters, flyers, and banners are courtesy of the Publicity Chairs. Sometimes they wear plaid and stripes (together). The Publicity Chairs are members of the Central Board.

Richard Freeman

Hometown: Medina, Ohio
Major: Who knows?
Favorite Quote: "I don't know about you, but 12:15 is a little early for a pony ride!"

Jenny Cheng

Hometown: Mt. Laurel, New Jersey
Major: MMSS & Economics
Favorite Quote: "I know lots of Jewish terms! Dreidel, Hannukah... wait- a dreidel is that toy that spins, right? so, then, what's that other toy, the one that holds the candles?"
About Richard: I enjoy frequenting White Hen and making friends with its interesting employees. Some might say that there are two types of people: those who are made for publicity, and those who aren't. I guess I'm just one of those people who is.
About Jenny: In my spare time, I enjoy missing flights home to New Jersey because of the fine gourmet selections provided by the dollar menu at McDonald's airport venues.

Historians

We collect pictures of all things Willard...therefore we will pretend facebook stalking you is in our job description. That's right, we're always a bad girl, always.

Sarah Malin

Hometown: Rye, NY
Major: International Studies and Anthropology
Favorite Quote: backpack: $20. being with people who understand you: priceless...we want the funk

Kristen Cragwall

Hometown: East Grand Rapids, MI
Major: Theatre and Sociology
Favorite Quote: "This is the best thing I've ever done with my life!" (upon putting chocolate milk on life cereal. ok, so my favorite quote is really just a bad pun...)
About Sarah: Sarah loves taking pictures and judges people when their desktop is not a photo they took themselves. She's also really excited about using her historian position as a reason for her parents to buy her a new camera...mwahahahaa.
About Kristen: Kristen can't work her digital camera, sucks at emailing/formatting pictures, and doesn't actually live in Willard. She does, however, enjoy reading Jesse's oversized history book while posing for the camera, which is enough to outweigh those other minor details. She also thinks it's lame when people make sarcastic jokes about themselves not being sarcastic.

Intramural Chairs

They keep an eye out for Stuart, making sure he doesn't hurt anyone, especially himself. Beyond that they organize intramurals and are passionate lovers of all things sensual. They're all about the competition. And yes, they want those shirts...

Jessica Dinneen

Hometown: The ROCKville, MD
Major: Premed is the closest description I can give
Favorite Quote: "Hating the Yankees isn't part of my act. It is one of those exquisite times when life and art are in perfect conjunction." - White Sox Owner Bill Veeck

Jeffrey Krimmel

Hometown: Randolph, NJ
Major: American Studies
Favorite Quote: "We talking 'bout practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking 'bout practice" -Allen Iverson
About Jessica: Proud to be part of the legacy of the Js, Jessie hopes to continue Willard's amazing track record. There for the highs and lows and Jared freakouts of last year, she hopes the draft didn't just help the Pats and that Willard will soon have some fresh talent to dominate the IM scene in the 07. Oh, oh yes... we'll play.
About Jeffrey: Aside from wanting to be like Allen Iverson in every possible way, Jeff's other life aspiration consists of producing Jeff Krimmel fatheads for every adoring young fan of his. Most importantly, Jeff would love to see everyone in Willard share in the wealth of intramural championship t-shirts next year.
