Vice President - Packy Vickers

From Libertyville come I, a boy named Packy
To study Poly Sci makes me happy
Climbing has given me direction
And so captured my affection
Once upon a time my brother brought me to the ARC
Golly did that light a spark
Sport, trad and ice I like it all
Even though often I do fall
This year I am the Vice President
If you have a question for me, don’t be hesitant
I want you to find such joy as I
Some come with me and let’s get high!

Social Chair - Arif Syraj

Hello, my name is Arif (pronounce that whatever way you want to, everyone gets it wrong). I'm entering my last year -- hopefully -- as a Mechanical Engineer and I grew up in Dubai and India. If you're wondering how I got all the way here it's because UIUC was one of the few universities that took me in. I've been climbing since Freshman year of college and you'll find me at the ARC pretty often. Feel free to reach out if you want to make a new friend cus the Climbing Club is where I got all of mine without a doubt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. 

Philanthropy Chair - Julia Conti

Hello! I'm Julia, and I'm your Philanthropy Chair! I'm studying computer science and linguistics, which basically means don't be surprised to see me with a laptop in a tree. When I'm not sitting in the trees of the northwest suburbs or climbing you can find me reading sci-fi or tending to my crustacean pals! If you want to climb or chill and talk about pretty much anything feel free to join me!

Technology Chair - Marissa Cowan

Hey guys, I'm Marissa and I'm a sophomore studying bioengineering! I’m from the middle of nowhere in Illinois and I somehow ended up here. I started climbing when I started college so I am still pretty new to the game but I am a frequent visitor of Jackson Falls. Come find me if you want some sweet pics for the gram or if you are just down to have a handstand competition on the quad!
