Five Students Elected to College Council
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., June 24, 2008 -- Williams College has announced the election of five students as officers of College Council. They are Jeremy Goldstein and Peter Nurnberg (co-presidents), Emily Deans (secretary), Rachel Levy (treasurer), and Curtis Flournoy (all-campus representative with focus on minority concerns.)
College Council is the student government organization at Williams. Led by its two co-presidents, it includes a student representative from each class, neighborhood, and first-year dorm. The Council gives students a representative voice in campus issues, provides support for student initiatives to improve college programs, has responsibility for funding more than 150 student groups and campus events, and provides a starting point for student initiatives to improve the campus or college programs.
Goldstein is a graduate of Palo Alto High School. A history and political science double major, Goldstein serves on the political science liaison committee; as a member of the Gargoyle Society, an honorary society; as a Junior Advisor; and as an admission tour guide. He is the features and executive editor of the Williams Record and swims competitively on the varsity swim team. This summer, he has a travel fellowship to England for thesis research.
Nurnberg, of New York, N.Y., chose to attend Williams College "for the quality of the teaching and professorship," and says he has taken a number of tutorials, one of Williams College's hallmarks. He is a double major in mathematics and economics. A Williams College Class of 1960s scholar in economics, he was a recipient of the Benedict Prize for the most promising sophomore math major in the spring of 2007. Nurnberg is a member of the Williams College Jewish Association.
Deans, of Redding, Conn., is also the incoming president of the Stanley Kaplan Program in Foreign Policy. A political science major with concentrations in international relations and leadership studies, she hopes to pursue a career in international affairs. She is co-captain of the Women's Club Water Polo team and tutors at Mount Greylock High School.
Levy, of Larchmont, N.Y., is a double major in mathematics and economics. Levy also plans to complete a Certificate in French Language. She has been involved in a number of activities, from playing ultimate Frisbee to violin, working as a peer tutor in the economics department and as a member of the student advisory committee for hiring.
Flournoy, of Sherwood, Ariz., is an admissions ambassador and a member of the Black Student Union and the Minority Coalition Board. He hopes to bring minority concerns to the fore by seeking quantitative data on the experience of minority students at Williams.
