Meet the New SEPC

The Student Educational Policy Committee of the History department is elected every year by the majors. There are four seniors and three juniors on the SEPC. The next elections will be held in May 2001, the results announced at the department’s spring picnic.

John Aerni ‘01 is an education concentrator and retired SGA Vice President from Cincinatti, Ohio.

Josh Blue ‘01 is also an education concentrator and Education SEPC member from Palatine, Illinois.

George Carroll ‘02 is the SGA Vice President and a resident of Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Jordan Esbrook ‘01 spent the summer working for Congressman Brian Baird in Washington, DC. She comes from Wichita, Kansas.

Chris Neary ‘01 plays varsity tennis and writes for the Scarlet and Black. He comes from Milmont Park, Pennsylvania

Adam Noyce ‘02 plays in the Grinnell Symphony Orchestra and comes from Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Shannon O’Connor ‘02 leads the Grinnell Mock Trial team. She hails from Pittsburg, Kansas.

Although Ross Martin ‘02 received at least one write-in vote for "Department Mascot," the 1999-2000 SEPC chose to select nobody for this position.


New Newsletter Contact Info

Thanks to generous grants from... well... nobody, the History Newsletter now has a catch-all contact. The email address histnews@grinnell.edu has become a permanent address and contact point for the current history newsletter editor.

"This new email account should make it easier for alums to keep in touch, get copies of the newsletters, and haggle their professors about whether they really deserved that B-minus," said Dan Rothschild, the current newsletter editor.

"And if you can guess the Webmail password, you’ll get all the juicy gossip first," Rothschild added.
