President
Austin is a junior majoring in course 2, focusing in robotics. As president, he makes sure that things with Next Exec are running smoothly and listens to all of your concerns. In the previous Exec term, he served as dining chair. In his free time, he builds random things, cooks, enjoys photography. He loves to travel (especially with MIT AITI) and has visited Rwanda, D.R. Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, Ghana, Benin, Togo, Mexico, Honduras, Belize, and Thailand while attending MIT. He can usually be found in the 5W lounge or in room 507.
VP Relations
Karinna is a member of the Class of 2015 majoring in Course 20-Biological Engineering. As Next House Vice President of Relations, she is working toward building a better system for student groups to throw events and expand. Apart from her role on exec and academics, she loves to street-style dance and is member of both Imobilare and Dance Troupe. She is also active in the MIT American Jiu Jitsu Club. Karinna really loves Next House and hopes to help the culture grow stronger during her time on exec. If you have any ideas or just want to have chill conversation, feel free to stop by Rm 264 anytime! She is usually up pretty late lol
Social Chair
Jordan is a sophomore majoring in Course 3, Material Science and Engineering. Serving as Social Chair, she works to promote the wonderful culture that is Next House through fun events to bring Nexties together. In addition to Next Exec, Jordan is involved in Alternative Spring Break, ReachOut, the Lindy Hop Society, volunteering at a local animal shelter and at the Museum of Science, as well as leading Next Service and acting as an Associate Adviser in Next. She loves Next House culture, and can often be found spending time with her adopted family here. She enjoys really getting to know people by listening to their stories (meaning more than just name and major!). Stop by Room 521 in 5W any time you want to chat about social events, Next House, life in general, bad puns, or any other topic you want! :)
Secretary/Historian
Dorian Burks is a freshman (2014) who's planning on majoring in either Course 3 or Course 20. He is serving as Next House Secretary, which involves taking notes at Next Exec Meetings as well as designing posters for events and cataloguing Next House's vibrant history. He's also currently involved in Campus Crusade for Christ and the MIT Figure Skating Club, and hopes to balance his studies so he can continue competing in figure skating as well as add on new activities. In the free time left over from school and these extracurriculars, he likes to hang out with friends and in the 3 west elevator lounge, aka the Party Lounge.
Website Chair
Yes, that looks like Joe. And that is in fact Joe. But Joe is no longer the website chair. That is all.
VP Facilities and Services
Navi is a sophlomore majoring in 6-2 Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. As a VP of facilities and services, she will make sure that the utilities and supplies are available and ready to make all Nexties happy! You are more than welcome to stop by my room at anytime (especially if you need some keys or want to share some ideas about improving Next). :)
Housing Chair
Linda Seymour, class of 2014, is majoring in Course 1C (Civil Engineering). As housing chair, she is ready to make sure that Nexties are happy with where they live. Aside from her unnatural obsession with bridges, Linda enjoys playing flute, saxophone and trombone (especially in Next Act Pit), spending time with the TerraScopers, serving on the Civil and Environmental Engineering Board of Ambassadors and being a resident associate advisor. In her spare time, Linda is typically found having random adventures in 5 west and living up to others' description of her bubbliness.
Dining Chair
2015er, here to make your food taste better. I live in 2E and you can find me anywhere in Next House. I like to mingle in all the wings, I'm just a friendly guy roaming the halls. I'm planning to major in Courses 6 and 8, EECS and Physics, although that changes every week as I do my physics homework. Aside from this, I'm also a desk worker, I play quidditch, and you can usually find me up in the wee hours of the morning and napping in 10-250 or 26-100.
Treasurer
John is a 2014 majoring in Course 2-A: Energy, Mechanical Engineering with focus in Energy Studies. Remaining as treasurer for Next House, he will be working to tidy up Next House financials and keep all of the books in order. That being said, he is not that great at alphabetizing anything, so we all hope for the best. John is a member of the Varsity Lightweight Crew Team, the MIT Electric Vehicle Team, and the MIT Undergraduate Association Sustainability Committee. He also spends part of his free time at the Franklin Park Zoo; working to help restore their fleet of electric golf carts. Outside of MIT, John is an Eagle Scout, uncle to two, and has worked as a bayman for several years. Feel free to stop by the 3rd floor elevator suite if you have any questions, or just want to say hello.
JudComm
Natalia is a 2014 in Course 8 (physics!) with something of an obsessive love for Euler's Theorem, black holes, and most forms of non-rhyming poetry. She is Judcomm (Judicial Committee Chair) for Next House and this is her second year on Exec. As Judcomm, she works with GRTs, wing reps, and students to define wing culture and promote student interaction and activity. She also resolves student disputes and maintains communication between exec and wing leadership. She is always open to new ideas for making Next culture more awesome and loves talking about Next, MIT, or just life. Drop her an email or stop by her room in 4E!
Alumni Chair
Jordan Marks and Linda Seymour
Jordan and Linda are both freshman majoring in Course 3 (Material Science and Engineering) and Course 1C (Civil Engineering) respectively. They are co-serving as Alumni Relations Chair, working to compile a history of Next House and build relationships between alumni and current residents. In addition to Next Exec, Linda is a saxaflombonist and is involved in the Marching Band and in Terrascope. Jordan is involved in the UA Committee for Student life, LSC, the Lindy Hop Society, Alternative Spring Break, ReachOut, and she played violin for Next Act. They both absolutely love Next House (especially 5 West!) They can often be found adventuring, making analogies and bad jokes, goofing off, and laughing in 5W! Come by any time you want to talk! :)
