Community Leaders 2008-09

Hi! My name is Kristin Archer and I'm from St. Louis, Missouri. I am an Off-campus Community Leader for the Hutton Honors College. I am a sophomore majoring in finance and accounting with a minor in economics and Spanish. I am active in Civic Leadership Development, a community service oriented club in Kelley School of Business. I like to spend my summers travelling; I spent the past summer in Barcelona, Spain and London, England. I hope that honors students will have fun and meet each other through the events planned by the Honors Council. My email is kcarcher@indiana.edu.
Hello! I am Elizabeth Bercovitz from Indianapolis, Indiana. I am currently a sophomore majoring in biology, minoring in Spanish and am a student in the LAMP program. This year, I am serving as the Community Leader for Forest, the Southeast neighborhood coordinator, and a community leader coordinator for the program as a whole; I hope that over the course of the year, I can successfully carry out activities which will bring together the Honors students living in Forest and make students more aware of all the great things Hutton Honors College has to offer. In addition to being a Community Leader, I am also a vice-committee chair for the Volunteer Committee of the Honors Student Association. In high school, I was the co-President of Habitat for Humanity, the Vice President of Student Council, and a member of the National Honor Society. I love extracurricular activities and being actively involved with my school, so I am extremely excited for this position! I can be reached by email at ebercovi@indiana.edu.
Hi! My name is Emily Berman and I am the 2008-2009 Head Community Leader for the Hutton Honors Council Association (HHCA). This is my third year working for HHCA and my second year working as the Head Community Leader. I'm a junior from Louisville, Kentucky majoring in Jewish Studies and Philosophy. Besides working for the honors college, I am also the Political Advocate for Indiana Israel Public Affairs Committee (IIPAC), a sister in Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, and member of the Jewish Studies Student Association. This past summer I interned in Washington, DC with the Alliance for Justice and now I aspire to go to law school. Some things that I love are my Bichon Frise and my cat, raspberries, manatees and country music! I have lived in Israel and I plan to study abroad either in Florence on Jerusalem next semester. I am very excited about all the new changes and organization for HHCA this year! I hope to help the Greek Honors Council more and guide each Community Leader to become great programmers and leader in their residence halls. Feel free to e-mail me anytime at eaberman@indiana.edu.
Hi, I'm August Boeglin. I am a freshman business major and the Read Community Leader. I have lived in Bloomington, minutes away from campus, nearly my entire life. As a result, I have always had a strong connection to IU, and have always known that I would likely end up as a student here. I am majoring in Business, and find the discipline exciting and challenging. I am also considering a minor in Spanish, Economics, or Creative Writing, other subjects that I enjoy. In my spare time, I run and play music (on either the piano or drums).
Hi! I am Adeel Chaudhry, and I am the Ashton Community Leader for this year. Hailing from Warsaw, Indiana, I am a sophomore studying biology and anthropology and hope to pursue a career in medicine and politics. Besides the Hutton Honors Council Association, I am an active member of the Student Global AIDS Campaign, serving on both the National Steering Committee and co-directing the IU chapter, the Timmy Foundation, serving as treasurer this year, and the STARS research program. Nigerian by birth and Pakistani by heritage, my interests include animals, travel, and other cultures. This past spring break, I was fortunate enough to go on a medical brigade to the Dominican Republic with the Timmy Foundation (photo), and, this summer, I studied public health abroad in Russia. These experiences opened my eyes social justice issues and have greatly influenced my aspirations in life. I am enthusiastic about the possibilities for Ashton this year and look forward to working with all the other students. Feel free to email me at aschaudh@indiana.edu with any comments or suggestions!
My name is Stacy Ezra and I'm the Community Leader for Willkie and the On-Campus Apartments. At home, I live about 20 minutes from Monticello, IN (Indiana Beach, anyone?). I'm a sophomore studying Biology and Spanish and I love LAMP. Last year I was a Community Leader in Eigenmann, so working with an Honors community living in suites and apartments will be a new challenge, but my goal is to pull together this diverse group of students and hopefully create some lasting connections. My other extra-curricular activities include being an RPS tour guide, a CBLS (Certificate in the Business of Life Sciences) Student Associate, and an active member of the Science Outreach Society. You can contact me at sdezra@indiana.edu.
Hello. My name is David Greco, and I am a 2008-09 Community Leader in Wright Quad. I am a freshman majoring in History, and I'm from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I really enjoy staying involved in the community and campus, and want to extend a wide range of activities to Hutton Honors students throughout Wright. I am an avid movie fan, and love listening to music, like Muse, Cake, and the Killers. This year is going to be a fun one, filled with great events.
My name is Anna Handy and I am a Community Leader in Wright. My hometown is Indianapolis. Right now, I'm a dietetics major, but I plan to switch to Human Development and Family Studies. Either way, I want to end up working with people. I spent the summer as a camp counselor in northern Indiana. Little kids, sunshine and campfires, trees and boats and face paint, I can't think of a better combination! At IU, I'm currently involved with Volunteers in Sustainability and I'm a math tutor at Tri-North Middle School. Bloomington offers a cornucopia of opportunities and resources; I am excited to facilitate an enthusiastic honors community in Wright this year! You're welcome to email me at aghandy@indiana.edu.
Hey, my name is Blake Koness, and I am one of the two Read Community Leaders for the 2008-2009 school year. I am a Freshman, currently undecided about my major, but I'm leaning towards music, probably Vocal Performance. My hometown is Carmel, Indiana, and I absolutely love it there. I miss my family a lot, but Bloomington is a great place too! Well, I should probably write about my interests, shouldn't I? Singing is probably my favorite thing to do in the world, but I was involved in a lot of other performing arts activities in high school as well. I did a lot of musical theatre, a lot of show choir, and some straight theatre, and I even played in orchestra too! (I play violin and viola). I was also very involved in my church's music ministry at home and continue to be involved with music at church here at IU. When I'm not making music, I love being in nature, reading practically anything, and spending as much time as I can with my friends and family as we stumble through this thing we call life. Anyways, that's probably all you need to know about me for now. I'm really excited to be a part of this program. It's an awesome opportunity, and I hope I am able to contribute some positive things to it this year.
Hey what's up everybody! My name is Harrison Lin and I am one of the Community Leaders for Teter this year. In high school, I was involved in newspaper, orchestra, student government and a tutoring group so I have a great deal of experience for this position. In addition, I also served as a student leader for my youth group which required me to plan various events and parties for the group. I hope the events that I help plan this year will be fun and help Honors students get to know each other a lot better. I have a lot of great ideas for people with all types of interests. Feel free to contact me at hhlin@indiana.edu if you have any questions. Let's make HHCA at Teter awesome this year!
Hi! My name is Lindsey Logue and I am from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I am one of the McNutt Honors Community Leaders. I am a freshman majoring in Finance and minoring in Spanish. I am also a member of the Residence Hall Representative Council for Dance Marathon and a member of Student Alumni Association. I love sushi, High School Musical, and shopping. It is my goal for the year to connect the Honors students in McNutt and the Northwest neighborhood. I hope this will help to make a big campus feel small! My email is lilogue@indiana.edu!!
Hi, my name is Sweeney Machado. This school year, I am the community leader for Foster, and last year I was an executive member of the Foster's Honors Council. I am a sophomore majoring in accounting and finance. I am an Indian, who was born and lives in Kuwait. In my free time, I enjoy shopping, going for walks, and hanging out with friends.

Hello! My name is Amanda Mertsching and I'm from Dyer, Indiana, which is about half an hour from Chicago. I am, along with my amazing partner Erin, the Co-Community Leader for Eigenmann this year. We plan to build on the spectacular job Hannah did last year in order to make this year better! I'm a freshman Biology major, with interest in going to Medical School and becoming a doctor, but I'm not quite sure what to specialize in yet. I enjoy classes and love it here at IU! I'm a fun-loving person who likes to be with my friends, talk on the phone, and play on my computer. My family is also very important to me and I talk with them daily, via text message of course. Some other random facts? My favorite color is green, I have OCD when it comes to things being clean/neat/tidy, and I love giraffes. Anything I missed? Please feel free to e-mail me at any time! Amertsch@indiana.edu.
My name is Daniel Miller and I am a Hutton Honors College Community Leader for Briscoe Quad. I am a student in the Kelley School of Business, majoring in Finance and Accounting. I am a Hoosier born and raised, and now I am proud to be a student at Indiana University. Running has always been something I loved. Recently, I have gotten into table tennis and in the last few years I have become a huge movie buff. I am trying to learn to play the harmonica but have found little time. As a Hutton Community Leader, my goal, along with my co-leader, is to simply increase the interaction between Hutton Honors College students through small and large-scale social activities. I also serve as a medium through which the HHC communicates with the Briscoe Honors Executive Council.
My name is Jennifer Noeth. I'm a junior in the Kelley School of Business and I am majoring in marketing. This is my third year working with the HHCA. As an Off-campus Community Leader, I help executive officers plan academic, social, philanthropic, and cultural events for students living off-campus. I am also the event coordinator for the HHCA and I'm responsible for organizing large events such as picnics, banquets, and meetings for all honors councils across campus. In my free time, I like to read novels and hang out with friends!
Hi! My name is Jay Patel. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Biochemistry BS degree and working on my LAMP certificate. I went to Hamilton Southeastern High School when I lived in Fishers, IN but I now reside in Aurora, OH. Last year, I was the President of the Forest Community Council which was an amazing experience as i got to learn so much from other council members and helped put on some successful events. This year, I am happy to serve as Co-CL of Forest and am genuinely excited for some of the activities our council has planned for this year! In addition to being a part of the Forest Community Council, I also love to volunteer. I currently dedicate my Thursdays to the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic located in Bloomington, IN and have enjoyed every minute of it! I also enjoy being active by playing soccer or running with my friends in my free time. I take pride in my alma mater, Indiana University, and believe my experiences here will serve me well after college life. I can be reached via email at: jaypatel@indiana.edu
I'm Kanishka Singh. As Community Leader on behalf of Teter: Boisen, I want to propose interesting and innovative ideas that help Hutton Honors students not just about each other, but about their interests as well. People have always said that college is the hinge through which we realize our principles and goals, and start to shape the people we're going to be as adults. I believe that the Hutton Honors Council Association serves as a catalyst, arranging a variety of activities that give honors students at Indiana University the opportunity to develop and learn what excites them. Having lived in nearly seventeen different places throughout my life, I've come to experience first hand that there are innumerable different things that drive and motivate individuals. I hope, through this post, that I can bring a measure of that variety and creativity to attend to students of all kinds. During my time in high school, I participated extensively in overseas volunteer projects, rehabilitation programs for foreign refugees, international programs with the school's student government. All these have contributed to the development of a globalized and multilateral viewpoint I've strived for all my life. I hope, in the months to come, to implement what I've learned through this position.
My name is Patrick Trigg, and I'm one of the Community Leaders for the Briscoe Honors Council. I am a freshman majoring in International Studies, but I have interests in many different fields of study. I was born and raised in Waukegan, Illinois which is about an hour north of Chicago. Being involved in the HHCA is my main organization currently but I am looking forward to getting involved in many different clubs and organizations on campus. Since the age of 4 I have been taking dance lessons, and I am currently taking the ballet elective classes for non-majors here at IU. I am a very fun person who enjoys having a good time and I am looking forward to many exciting activities and events this year.
My name is Taylor Weis and I am the co-Honors Community Leader for McNutt for the 2008-2009 Year. I am a freshman at Indiana and am from Batavia, Illinois. I am majoring in Business, more specifically in finance. I am also involved in IU Student Television here on campus. In my free time I love playing any sport with friends, especially table tennis. My main goal in life is fulfillment, and I try to structure what I do to aim towards that. In our honors council this year I look for an exciting time in which we can build friendships and memories.
