President- Kevin Zhang + Vice President- Scott Hwang
Being President of PARC is a satisfying job that allows you to meet new people and better understand those you already know. The President acts as a line of communication between faculty, the exec board, and other members to facilitate an enjoyable living environment. The President also acts as PARC’s representative at the Residential College Board and attends those weekly meetings to help keep others updated on what exciting things are happening at PARC! They also lead weekly exec board meetings. Being PARC President is a fantastic way to demonstrate leadership while also strengthening friendships with your peers! The Vice President serves as the other half to the President, responsible for managing PARC’s facilities and property, being a liaison between the community and exec board, and important managerial roles such as recording exec board meeting minutes. If the President is absent or needs someone to help take on various tasks, the Vice President is there to help. Overall, the Vice President is in charge of making PARC a nice place to live!
Treasurer- Chloe Braswell
As Treasurer, you work closely with the Student Organization Finance Office (SOFO) to ensure that PARC is keeping accurate records of its finances. You also organize quarterly budgets and ensure that the board is mindful of costs when planning and organizing events. While it may sound tedious, any questions can be answered pretty quickly and directly by SOFO, so this is a great position to have a voice in the planning of PARC activities while being able to use your analytical side.
Academic Chairs- Katia Shek and Rachel Schlueter
The Academic Chair(s) mainly work with the college’s faculty and graduate fellows organizing events such as dinners, firesides, FaculTEA and field trips. Where the Social Chair(s) focus on building community among residents, the Academic Chair(s) mainly organize and coordinate
external events involving more than just NMQ residents. It’s a great way to meet faculty and students from across campus!
Social Chairs- Grace Chang and Nikole Montero-Cervantes
The Social Chair(s) plan weekly Munchies, and other social events during Wildcat Welcome, along with a PARC formal in an off-campus location. They facilitate community bonding and help make PARC feel like a home. Most of the exec board budget is allocated to them to create fun events for everyone!
Communications Chair- Malik Rice
The Communications Chair is responsible for, you guessed it, communication! They send monthly newsletters updating residents on PARC’s and the community’s upcoming events, manage the website and ‘official’ group chats, and create and organize forms. This chair is the bridge of information between the community and executive board. For PARC events, they create media and advertise to the community, and take pictures and other records during events to be organized into PARC’s folder for the NU Archive at the end of the academic year.
