Executive Board Officers 2009-2010

President - Sydney FeatherstoneSydney is a third year majoring in physiology. She hopes to apply to medical school after graduating in Spring 2012, but has no real preferences as to where she wants to go or what specialty she’d like to pursue. To help prepare her for this, she volunteers at St. Mary Medical Center and is working on NOT getting lightheaded at the sight of blood. She loves being a part of the Honors Program, and has taken a total of six classes with them. She thinks being a geek rocks, even though it means she loses when she runs for Homecoming Queen. She loves to say she was a part of the Gryffindor House, wears a Hogwarts class ring that her mom got her for Christmas from a special jeweler in the Middle East, and still has not figured out how to navigate around certain parts of Long Beach without Sheila, her trusty GPS system. In her spare time she likes to spend time with her roomie, Rachel, and her close companions Chuck Bill, Mr. Scrumbles, Dory, and Princess Pancakes. Phone: (209) 988-8425 |

Secretary - Sierra PathealSierra is majoring in English (three emphases at the moment: Literature; Rhetoric and Composition; and a Certificate in Technical and Professional Writing) and could possibly be minoring in Mathematics in the near future. A sophomore, she has determined that if she falls in love with any other subjects, she will likely be at CSULB for the rest of her existence (which, when contrasted with her summer job of waitressing, is not such a bad idea). Her hometown in Northern California (Sierra City in Sierra County in the Sierra Mountains) houses a shocking 250 people, and she graduated in a class of eight. Yes, eight. This is one (of the many) reasons she loves the Honors program: it keeps class sizes within sane margins. In her free time, which, due to her class load, keeps dwindling, Sierra can be found writing short stories; wandering through random parts of Long Beach to get ideas for said short stories; watching anime; writing fanfiction about said anime; curled up in those big comfy chairs at Borders; sitting in the aisles of Barnes & Nobles; or reading whatever new novel her (current) favorite author has issued--since she has over ten favorite authors, she almost always has a new book to read. Sierra's guilty addictions: chocolate; Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, Mark del Franco, Rob Thurman, and Brandon Sanderson; coffee and caffeinated tea; Cha for Tea; little-known grammar usages; and semicolons. Lots and lots of semicolons. Phone: (530) 701 - 8210 |

Treasurer - Monica "Mona" KozlowskiMona is majoring in Illustration/Animation, and has been a part of the honors program since 2007, when she copied her roommate and applied solely for the promise of the sick medal you get when you finish the program. Monday through Thursday mornings, you can find Mona wandering around the Fine Arts buildings, sipping black, unsweetened coffee (hot cocoa) in her paint-splattered jeans, talking angrily to herself... attempting to appear as troubled and self-loathing as any great artist should look. A recovering internet addict, Mona has slowly regained control of her life through counseling, House re-runs, and the art of collaging obnioxious photos onto her bedroom wall. You can read all about her struggle as her up-and-coming autobiography A Million Little Kilobytes hits stores in late October.

Christine-Anne BastainChristine-Anne S. Bastian or “Chrissy”, as she likes to be called, is a second year at the wonderful Cal State Long Beach. A fellow honors student actually tricked her into double majoring in English so she is now both Creative Writing & Literature. When you first meet this shy young woman she will probably stand in the back and not say a word but if you are the lucky few to break her out of her hard shell you realized what a fun-loving silly girl she really is. Sometimes she can be a chatterbox with no off button and loves to be around people. Chrissy hopes and daydreams of becoming an author one day but realizes that in reality that will be difficult so she is unsure of where her English BA will take her but luckily she is the adventurous type and is hanging on for the ride. Some fun facts: Chrissy is half Filipino (therefore extremely short!) Turn-offs: o Smokers |

JazmineJazmine is a third year History major, specializing in European and Middle Eastern History. She loves to write, play soccer and shop (even when she doesn’t have the money for it.) If she could, Jazmine would spend all of her free time reading. She has an unhealthy obsession with Starbucks and most food in general. She loves watching True Blood and secretly wishes she could transform into a super cool animal like the characters in the show. After graduation Jazmine plans on moving to New York for grad school to start her journey to becoming a college professor. |

That Guy - Allan TolkoffAllan Tolkoff is a sophomore at Long Beach State, majoring in Philosophy and Film. He originally appeared on the UHPSA as a guest star intended for only one episode, but his overwhelming popularity with fans led to his being offered a recurring role as That Guy. This taxing position forces him to undertake heavy responsibilities such as inhaling, exhaling, consuming vast quantities of pizza, complaining about the lack of mushrooms, and showing up to meetings. Countless hours before his computer have left the poor lad scarred with an unrelenting geekdom and a greater command of useless facts than was previously thought possible for one mind to contain. Despite this dreadful handicap, some brave souls have ventured to seek Allan's advice, asking him such ponderous questions as "What is the meaning of life?" and "Will you please get out of my way?" His replies are known to cause dangerous enlightenment.
