The Shepard Exec Board
(Updated for Winter Quarter 2010)
Trey Herr — President
The President is the official representative of Shepard and is ultimately responsible for the welfare of the college. He chairs the weekly Exec Board and SCC meetings.
Trey is an economics and vocal performance major from the great state of Massachusetts. He is a member of NROTC who enjoys discussing affairs of state, singing jazz, and of course, Shepard. When he's not sobbing over the lack of hills or forests here in Evanston, you can find Trey debating at Political Union, watching football or walking to SPAC. He adores pandas as well as polar bears, and rooms with the Tech Chair, whose picture is pretty awesome.

Katie Stevens — Vice President
The Vice President assists the President in running the college. She is responsible for planning New Student Week activities, scheduling the dorm’s public rooms, and maintaining Shepard's test files.
Katie is a sophomore in Weinberg with a minor in theatre but who has absolutely no idea what she is majoring in. She is from Saratoga, California and contrary to what you may think, doesn't hate Chicago's cold weather. Katie spends her time stage managing shows and procrastinating. She loves when people visit her room, especially since she will have a dingle next year and will get very lonely if no one's ever in there. Katie also loves eating avocodos with salt and a spoon.

The Secretary writes and posts the weekly minutes from Shepard Exec Board and SCC meetings. The weekly minutes traditionaly are placed inside bathroom stalls throughout Shepard.

Through his role as secretary, he hopes to avenge the death of his parents, who died in a bizarre but undeniably fatal typing accident.

Anne Wong — Philanthropy Chair
The Philanthropy Chair organizes philanthropy events for Shepard, and informs Sheep about volunteer opportunities on and off campus.
Anne is a Social Policy major and considering a double in History or maybe even a minor in Classics… who knows… her mind changes all the time. She comes from Chicago [the actual city, not the suburbs] and spends all of baseball season rooting for the White Sox despite now living in Cubs land central. She thrives in Shepard despite being one of the only residents who is not gifted with the talent of singing, dancing, acting, or playing some type of musical instrument. She is interested in all things involving SESP and saving the world. She loves reading, biking, baking, eating, and trying to convince others to volunteer just as much as she does.
