Journalism Club
President: Mia Muzzi

Want to contribute to Tiger TV and “The Catalyst”? The Journalism Club, led by President and Editor in Chief Mia Muzzi and Moderator Robert Rojas, allows members to do just that. The club meets weekly on Mondays at 11:45 a.m. in room 124. Club members are assisted by editors to write stories, compile videos and navigate new technologies and sites. They have the opportunity to be published in “The Catalyst” and are often featured on the biweekly Tiger TV segments. Newcomers are welcome to begin involvement.

Women in Chem
President: Annie Stump, Bella Taylor, and Maggie Templeton
Moderator: Dr. Liz Hegarty

The Women in Chem Club, founded and started by juniors Annie Stump, Bella Taylor and Maggie Templeton, is a space for all young women interested in chemistry and experience in STEM. The club is enrolled in the American Chemical Society (ACS), which is a site that sends the presidents specific labs to host with the club during lunch. At their last meeting on October 27, they made slime and had a turnout of over 60 students. Email or find the three presidents or the club moderator, Dr. Elizabeth Hegarty.

Bracelets for Smiles Club
President: Cadence Goblirsch

Freshman Cadence Goblirsch founded the Bracelets for Smiles Club this past year. The club makes friendship bracelets to donate to the St. Anthony Foundation in San Francisco. With help from Moderator Esthermaria Martin, Goblirsch hosts meetings twice a month. Everyone is encouraged to make at least one bracelet to add to the collective basket. The club is a creative outlet for anyone who enjoys bracelet-making for the greater good.
