2010-2011 Nanook Traditions Board

Murial Berg

Traditions Board Chair

Major: Marketing (Business Administration)

Favorite tradition & why: I love them all! I have many many good memories from each one, but when I look back, SpringFest is the one I have the best memories. From playing mud volleyball in the slightly cold weather... bringing back the watermelon drop after it had been banned for 8 years (and dropping the watermelon), feeling like a little kid again wrestling in a sumo suit. The list goes on and on.

Why did you join the board: At my very first Starvation Gulch, I was so amazed by the event. When I got a job with the Student Activities Office, I was asked if I wanted to be the main contact for all of the Nanook Traditions &I jumped on that opportunity in a heartbeat.

The Ultimate ice cream: Blueberry Pomegranate Sorbet! So refreshing!! yum

It's finally 2012, will the world really end this year?: Heck no! I am not ready for my life to be over. There's so much I still want/need to do. The world CAN'T end! 


Kelley Ryan

LIVE Representative

Major: Elementary Education

Favorite Traditions & Why? Spring Fest!! That time of year when break up happens couldn't be more
exciting. SpringFest is the greatest big bang event at the end of the year tying it all together.

Why are you on the Board? I work in the LIVE office doing volunteer work and the Traditions Board is a
great way to support student activities on campus.

Favorite Song to sing in the shower? I love singing "Ain't no mountain high enough" because you can totally get into the dance moves with this one!

What do you do for fun? I love going out dancing with friends, love knitting, and playing sports.

Teal Rogers

Major: Marketing

Favorite Tradition & Why: SpringFest because you have to get down-and-dirty for mud volleyball while still trying to maintain heat becasue there is snow on the ground.

Why did you join the board: To help keep track of events for Student Activities and to be more involved with the best events that happen on campus!

The Ultimate ice cream: Chocolate Moose Tracks

It's finally 2012, Will the world really end this year?: The world only ends when you stop having fun, and I'm not going to stop having fun! So nope, the world won't end!

Favorite Tradition & Why: I love all the traditions on campus, but Springfest is my favorite. It marks the end of the dark winter with a festive atmosphere. There's always great music playing and people enjoying themselves and having fun in the sun. I especially love the rugby match and the field day. 
 
Why did you join the board: I joined the traditions board because I really wanted to be a part of organizing the events that everyone enjoys. I've enjoyed two years of traditions, and now I'd like to be involved and make future tradition events awesome for everyone else! 
 
Ultimate Ice Cream Flavor: Peppermint Candy 
 
It's finally 2012, Will the world really end this year? December 21, 2012: just another winter solstice.
