Vice-President of CSI: Kymberlee
McMaster
Kym is a junior Computer
Science major and part of Gemstone Team DIRE. As Vice-President, she is most looking
forward to planning enjoyable events for the Gemstone student body! Her
favorite thing about UMD is just how beautiful the campus can be. She is also
very appreciative of the bonding that the Gemstone community fosters. It’s the
reason why her favorite class was GEMS102! Kym enjoys playing soccer, watching
TV (Pushing Daisies!), and baking. She is also a HUGE superhero enthusiast! Her
favorite superhero right now is Jessica Jones.
Event Co-Chair: Saul Schaffer
Saul is a freshman Mechanical
Engineering major here on the CSI Committee. As Event Co-Chair, he hopes to
plan and execute fun activities with reasonable budgets that EVERYONE will want
to attend! Saul is most looking forward to working with David from the
Operations Committee. In his free time, Saul enjoys reading, running, and
cracking hilarious jokes. Speaking of jokes, do you know why Saul’s favorite
class is The Manhattan Project Honors Seminar? Because it’s THE BOMB!
Hahahahaha. Yeah. Saul’s favorite food is any kind of cheese that isn’t
American, and the only thing Saul loves more than non-American cheese is the
Gemstone program! Why? Because “it’s lit”.
Event Co-Chair: Soma
Umeozulu
Soma is a freshman Chemistry
major who, as Event Co-Chair, hopes to plan some exciting and memorable events
for you all! Like any sane person, Soma is looking forward to Gems Formal,
which is THIS FRIDAY! She loves Gemstone because there are so many different
activities happening every day, and there is a plethora of cool people to do
them with! Soma’s favorite food is white chip macadamia nut cookies. Her
favorite TV show is Regular Show, which is anything but. Her pastimes include
reading, theatre, travelling, and aprendiendo
español. Soma, like many North Campus residents, is unaware of the vast
cultural divide between North Campus and South campus squirrels.
Gems Formal Chair: Zeke
Gonzalez
incredible diversity of the student body and being able to meet so many awesome people! Zeke thinks the South Campus squirrels are fatter than the North campus ones, while the North Campus squirrels are sassier. While this is probably true, it only scratches the surface of the age-old conflict between North and South Campus squirrels.
Student Council Relations
Chair: Jason “Jittner” Ittner
Jason is a freshman Electrical
Engineering major. As the Student Council Relations Chair, he hopes to foster
an almost uncomfortably close relationship between all of the committees. Jason
enjoys running, going to the gym, and Netflix and Chilling with friends
(platonically). His favorite thing about UMD is the incredible amount of
activities that are on campus every day of the week. He loves Gemstone because
“we’re chill”. Not really sure what that means. Jason loves soccer, and his
favorite team is Borussia Dortmund. His favorite TV show of all time is The
Legend of Korra; he is an aspiring airbender. Jason, from personal experience,
thinks that the squirrels on South Campus are cheekier than their Northern brethren.
