 Co-Director: co_directors@illinoisasb.orgX Selection Committee: co_directors@illinoisasb.orgVicky RhineHey lovelies!! I'm Vicky and I am one of this year's Co-Directors!! I love positivity, creativity, and kindness. I'm a vegetarian, love dogs, and have a passion for animal rights. I am majoring in community health in the hopes of working and want to get my masters in public health! I fell in love with ASB after just one trip and am so excited to go on more trips and to be part of making trips happen. ASB is so great because you not only get to go on meaningful service trips, but you also get the chance to meet some of the most amazing, down-to-Earth people on this campus!! We're all a big family of goof balls and we hope to see you on one of our next trips! xoxo |
 Co-Director: co_directors@illinoisasb.orgHann LindahlI'm Hann, one of ASB's Co-Directors. I am a senior in Advertising and German. I went on my first ASB trip to the Appalachian Mountains (S.A.W.S.) in the winter of my sophomore year and immediately fell in love. I've been on many others since. When not conducting official ASBusiness, I can likely be found in my apartment baking bread, solving logic puzzles, plunking around, or making up verbs. I have a cat named The Wu and am constantly reading non-fiction. ASB has opened many doors for me, and I'm glad to be working with all the wonderful people on board! |

My first ASB trip was to Sioux YMCA and it's been one of my greatest college experiences. I plan on going on many more because ASB has challenged me and allowed me to view the world in a different way and I hope everyone takes advantage of the beautiful opportunities it has to offer! You meet passionate people from this campus, do great work, and learn about important issues. Looking forward to seeing you on a trip! :) |

From then on I fell in love which is why I chose to be on board. I hope everyone takes advantage of this great organization! "Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need."

 Internal Development: internal@illinoisasb.orgStephanie MieczkowskiHey everyone! I'm Steph and I'm one of the External Relations chairs this year! I'm a junior in Psychology and was so in love with ASB after my first winter trip sophomore year that I went on another one that spring and plan to keep going on trips until I graduate! Getting involved with ASB was one of the best decisions I've made in college and I strongly encourage you to try it because it will change your perspective on life. When I'm not telling people how incredibly amazing ASB is, I'm probably looking up cat videos online, cooking, working at the Career Center, or watching How I Met Your Mother. I'm so excited to be even more involved with ASB this year and to spread the ASB love! And I can't wait to see your lovely face at our next info night :) |

 Trip Facilitator Trainer: trip_fac_trainers@illinoisasb.orgThomas NguyenWhat it do, everyone! I'm studying East Asian Languages and Social Work. I'm one of the three Trip Facilitator Trainers for this year's board. I guess...interesting fact? I like to mumble to myself in Vietnamese or Mandarin randomly as practice. If you see someone making random sounds and doing awkward dances, that's one sure way to know you've seen me! ASB has been an amazing addition into my life since freshman year. You learn so much through these trips and it really changes you. It literally has helped shaped my college career and future. Everyone you meet through ASB is going to be the best. Let's have another great ASB filled year~ |
 Trip Facilitator Trainer: trip_fac_trainers@illinoisasb.orgSally FengHi everyone! I'm Sally and I am your ASB Treasurer. I am a junior majoring in Integrative Biology. I went on my first ASB trip over winter break during my sophomore year and it was beautiful. I definitely recommend going on as many trips as possible because it'll be grand. Aside from ASB, I enjoy watching more TV shows than I can manage, taking care of hundreds of fishes at the lab, as well as collecting snow globes from around the world. One day I hope to travel to Africa and ride on a giraffe! :) |
 Board Advisor: advisor@illinoisasb.orgDarcy RedmondHey there! I'm Darcy and I will be ASB's Student Advisor for the 2012-2013 school year. I'm a sophomore majoring in Gender and Women's Studies. I went on my first ASB trip during Winter Break 2012 for the AIDS Project in L.A. and absolutely fell in love with the organization: going on a trip with ASB is an incredible experience, one that everyone should do at least once in college. When I'm not with ASB, I can be found spending time with the NOW (National Organization for Women) student chapter on campus, scribbling away in a notebook, eating chocolate, lip-syncing with my earbuds in as I walk down the street, quoting moments in movies that no one else remembers, learning more about various social issues, or generally staring into space. |
 Board Advisor: advisor@illinoisasb.orgSarah RodriguezHello! My name is Sarah, and I am ASBoard's Advisor for the Fall semester this year! I am a senior majoring in Kinesiology with a concentration in Physical Education and Health Education. I am excited to be on board for the third year in a row and also for my last year here at the U of I! I have participated in four ASB trip experiences and feel truly blessed for all that I learned on each of those trips because they have all impacted my life and I wouldn't be the person I am today without those experiences! See you soon at an ASB event! |
