Yo! My name is Noah, and I'm a third-year medical student. I grew up in San Jacinto, California, and graduated with a degree in Neuroscience at UCLA in 2021. I am a basketball and ping pong enthusiast.

Hello my name is Riley, I’m in my second year at LSA and the Telluride House. I’m pursuing a double Major in Honors Mathematics and Afroamerican and African Studies. I am a member of the Foriegn Language and Area Studies Fellowship (FLAS) cohort for the 2024-2025 academic year, studying Swahili in East Africa. I am also student-staff in LSA Honors department as a Perlman Common’s supervisor. In the long term, I hope to study the underrepresentstion of black and African people in mathematical history while pursuing a career in mathematical research. This year I am the Financial Officer (Treasurer) for MBTA and the founder/current chair of the Greenhouse Committee (aka GreenCom or the Garden Goblins) which, as the name suggests, manages the growth of plants in the box gardens and greenhouse. In my freetime I do all kinds of fiberworks (knitting, crochet, spinning yarn, and some needle felting) and take care of my two rabbits Ariel and Pebble. I listen to mostly funk, and right now my favorite artist is Sam Greenfield.

Hi, I'm Zuzanna! I'm in the MD-PhD Program at the Michigan Medical School, currently studying as a first-year student in the Ph.D. program in Philosophy. My philosophical research interests are in the realm of moral philosophy as it relates to the practice of medicine; questions about informed consent, autonomy, and the moral use of biomedical enhancements intrigue me the most. In my free time, I enjoy tennis, skiing, running, the whimsical, cute animals, and hanging out with my fellow housemates!

Hey there, I am AK. I am an anthro nerd and filmmaker. I am BIG lover of using stories and experiences to think about the issues we often see in numbers. My schtick is: to know ourselves and the world better we have to expand whose perspectives and world views contribute to that story. I’m currently a second-year PhD student in Anthropology, with a focus on development, migration, displacement and something to do with film. My research has taken me to refugee settlements in Uganda and African communities in India. When I’m not immersed in my academic work, I’m either binge-watching Abbott Elementary or rewatching House of the Dragon with my awesome housemates. You’ll also find me reading, writing, or editing whenever I get the chance. This year, I’m serving on the House Advisory Committee and contributing to the Project Development Committee, where I’m excited to bring my skills to the table.

Hello, I’m Sarah! I’m originally a transfer student from my local community college (community college for the win :) ), and last year was my first in LSA. I am currently studying history and museum studies, but my interests are quite vast, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up adding on a major during my time here. This is my first year being at the Telluride House, and it has been so wonderful joining this community! I am serving as one of two house secretaries this year as well as the Employee Coordinator Apprentice. I am also an adjunct member of the Event Planning Committee.

I love going to concerts, traveling, and good vibes! I’m always down for a fun time and trying new things. If anyone needs a concert buddy (preferably a Billie Eilish one), I’m almost always available. :)

HI, I'm Keshav and I'm a junior majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.

My hobbies include basketball and soccer, gardening, and listening to music.

Hey, I’m Ally and I’m a second-year undergrad in Biomedical Engineering, with a minor in CS! I’m super interested in the intersection between tech and biology and have worked on both dry and wet lab projects. My hobbies include art and piano, so you may hear me playing piano in the House occasionally. I also LOVE discovering new music (all genres and languages), so send me your music recs!

At the House, I serve as the Website Wizard, MBC Liaison, and adjuct on Recruitment Committee.

Hi, my name is Hassan, and I am a master's student at the School of Information. I have a background in public health and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information to link together the important role data plays in the public health sphere. I am a Michigander, but I am just coming back from a few years abroad in Southeast Asia. My hobbies include traveling, running, swimming, and hanging out with friends.

I'm Schnadè, and I'm in my third year of university. Usually, you can find me talking about theatre performance and linguistics. I love learning about how language evolves and how it captures the cultures we represent. Since middle school, I have wanted to be an actor, and as I got more deep into it, the power of words only strengthened for me. I became more aware of how my voice is the result of the many cultures that have influenced me: Haitian, South Floridian, etc. Funny enough, I went to a middle school dedicated to technology, and then went to a high school for the arts to study theatre. However, here at the University of Michigan, in a cool mix of interdisciplinary, I am set on pursuing computational linguistics in order to complement my artistic and humanities studies. I'm super excited to take part in this next cohort of the Telluride House! Cheers to being part of a community of future change-makers. My hobbies include learning about history, fashion, and just having a good old laugh. Feel free to say if you see me in public!

Hello!! My name is Arely and I am a graduate student in the School of Social Work. My main focus within the School of Social Work is Welfare of Children & Families but I'm also interested in the policies involved with Social Work. I am from the Southside of Chicago (from the neighborhood called Back of the Yards, to be more specific). My hobbies include coloring, listening/discovering new music, and watching movies. As a new house member this year, I look forward to working together and making fun memories!

Hey all! My name is Sarya. I studied Psychology in Lebanon and am now a first-year MSW student. Born and raised in Syria, I’ve traveled to over 15 countries to explore different religions, spiritual and emotional practices, and stay with locals to see life through their eyes. I’m passionate about empowering people through mind, body, emotions, and soul. I thrive most in communities where we work together toward shared goals. In my free time, I love swimming, meditating, exploring self-help, being in nature, and traveling.

Hey y'all my name is Bibi and I'm a first year MS student studying Environmental Justice, and I am originally from Austin, Tejas (hook 'em!). It is my first year at Telluride and I am currently serving as the Sustainability Steward. My academic interests include food as a site of race-making, documenting oral histories, and understanding foodways through migration in Texas. In my free time I enjoy going to the local movie theater, improv, calling my younger sister, playing pool, and long walks with a hot chai latte. Though a proud Tejana, I have loved my time in Michigan exploring cheese curds, Detroit's techno scene, and the beautiful Arb!

Hi! I am Kaia, a third year pursuing a degree in media and communications. A few of my passions are photography, watching films, fashion, yoga, and reading! During this point in my academic journey, I'm brainstorming ways of how to change the experience of a photo from 2-dimensional to more imaginative interactions. I am also exploring how to intersect marketing and brand storytelling as a creative director in various industries. If I am not outside in the sun, I'm most likely searching for new cultural foods to try out!
