Geoffrey Angus ’18 is a native of California and a prospective computer science major. He is an avid musician and plays a wide variety of instruments including the violin, the guitar, the piano, and the saxophone. He can typically be found making music mashups or acoustic covers. Beyond music, he is a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, the Sophomore Class Cabinet and the Robotics Club (specifically the Electric Go-Kart and Plasma Speaker projects). He is also a huge fan of Warriors basketball. When Geoff grows up, he wants to travel the world, write a book, and become Iron Man.

Alex Cheng, ’17, is a sophomore majoring in political science. He is a member of Stand Up, D, Stanford's stand-up comedy club, and has served as Artistic Director of the Stanford Improvisers. He hopes to work in the comedy industry after he graduates from Stanford. Outside of his destructively single-minded focus on comedy, Alex is an avid basketball fan, indie music snob, and defender of the Midwest.

Tess McCarthy, ’16, is a senior majoring in theater and performance studies with a minor in symbolic systems. At Stanford, she has been a member of Robber Barons Sketch Comedy, the Stanford Improvisers, and served as President and Artistic Director of Stanford Swingtime.

Olivia Peeps, ’18, is an undecided sophomore with an interest in neuroscience. While she is still contemplating her major, Professor Michael Rosenfeld's class called “The Urban Underclass” inspired her to pursue a minor in sociology. Olivia works part time at the Bing Overseas Studies office, assisting the directors of the summer seminars and special programs. This past summer she spent time in Bolivia working with several other Stanford students and the nonprofit organization Vivo Positivo on public health education for families where at least one member is HIV positive. In her free time Olivia enjoys playing pickup sports with her friends and venturing into downtown Palo Alto for good food.

Meicheng Shi, MBA ’16, is currently pursuing her MBA at the Graduate School of Business. Her favorite class at Stanford so far has been the infamous "Touchy Feely" (a.k.a. “Interpersonal Dynamics”) course. Prior to business school, Mei was a technology investor at Silver Lake Partners and lived abroad in Ghana and New Zealand working on social entrepreneurship. Although Mei spent 7 years living on the East Coast, she grew up in California and will always consider the Bay Area home. She is passionate about dark chocolate, international travel and hip hop dance.

Aashna Shroff, ’17, is a junior majoring in computer science with a minor in economics. Her upbringing and schooling in India bred a passion to make technology inclusive and accessible to everyone. As one of the only two girls in her high school computer science class, Aashna was inspired to start Girls Code Camp. Last year, she taught introductory computer science to young girls in India with a team of Stanford students through workshops and hackathons. One of the classes she has most enjoyed at Stanford has been CS106A with Mehran Sahami, and she hopes to bring the same excitement and whimsy into teaching as he does. Aashna is also involved in Stanford Women in Computer Science and Girls Teaching Girls To Code. In her free time, she likes to dance and to venture out to eat in new places.

Brandon Turner, MD ’18, is a medical student with an interest in oncology and the growing uses of technology in healthcare. Brandon lived in 8 different states while growing up, and graduated from Wake Forest University in 2012 with a bachelor’s in biophysics (and a minor in sociology). He was elected a Rhodes Scholar and spent the past two years in Oxford studying radiation biology and the effects of high altitude on people’s health. Brandon played winger for the Wake Forest Rugby Club and shooting guard for the St Catherine's College basketball team at Oxford. He spent a summer building computer labs and training teachers in Cameroon, and has conducted computational biophysics research on protein structure modeling. One of his favorite activities is volunteering with Pals – a long- term pediatric patient mentoring program similar to Big Brother/Big Sister. He hopes to combine his interest in healthcare, technology, and science writing in his future career. Oh, and he loves baking.

Daniel Washington, ’16, MS ’17, is a senior and coterminal degree student studying aeronautics and astronautics, with a focus on robotic systems and orbital mechanics and involved in the tap dance scene at Stanford. He hails from Albuquerque, New Mexico where he has lived all of his life prior to coming to Stanford. When Daniel isn't working on robotics projects through his major, he spends a majority of his time choreographing and leading the only advanced tap group on campus, Stanford tapTH@T. Daniel has been passionate about tap dance since he was 6 years old and hopes to restore the fading art form through fresh and exciting new choreography, improvisational technique, and free public tap lessons on campus.
