Steppin Out 2009 Leaders

Lydia Booth

Year: Sophomore
Major: Undecided

Fun Facts

My room back home is covered, on every wall and the ceiling, with posters and random objects. Sometimes I wish I lived in Hogwarts Castle, but not in a particular house...I would just want to make a cool fort under the tables in the dining hall.

Eli Beller

Year: Sophomore
Major: Undeclared, possibly Spanish

Fun Facts

I went to the same school from kindergarten through 12th grade. I also like to eat broccoli but it makes my tummy hurt.

Emily Brown

Year: Sophomore
Major: Politics

Fun Facts

Night at the Roxbury is the best movie ever made! A close second is Caddyshack II...as you can see I love lame movies...

Tim Christian

Year: Junior
Major: Economics

Fun Facts

I can recite the entire movie Anchorman from memory. I have a bad memory so sometimes I make mistakes...don't judge me. Sometimes my head can get really cold. That's why I usually wear really warm hats.

Elle Nigh

Year: Junior
Major: Rhetoric and Media Studies
Minor: Music and Spanish

Fun Facts

I love turtles so much. I own the largest turtle farm in Montana and I have created a turtle shell large enough for me to fit in. I can't keep it in my dorm room because my roommate says it takes up wayyyy to much space. I don't think she understands that it's my little home away from home.

Michael McGeehan

Year: Sophomore
Major: Exercise Science

Fun Facts

My dream job is to be an archeologist. Sometimes I try to excavate areas of campus to look for dinosaurs, but the grounds crew always makes me stop.

Elizabeth Tobey

Year: Sophomore
Major: Undecided

Fun Facts

I almost got attacked by a bear this summer. It was HUGE...but when I got a closer look, I realize that it was just a misshaped rock.

Paul McKean

Year: Junior
Major: Rhetoric and Media Studies
Minor: Politics

Fun Facts

I once peed into the crater of Mt. St. Helens. My tip of the day: Don't eat the yellow snow.

Sarah Worthing

Year: Sophomore
Major: Internationa Studies
Minor: English

Fun Facts

I used to be a champion chicken showman. I also love to travel and my favorite city I've been to is Naples, Italy. I also love Orick, CA but you probably never heard of it.

Colin Wilson

Year: Junior
Major: Biology

Fun Facts

I am super addicted to Costco's double chocolate muffins - so much so that I usually keep a stash of about 3 crates in my room. If you eat them I will get really angry.
