I'm a fifth year student in an electrical engineering/computer science Masters' program. I serve on the steering committee of LEM as its President and crustiest LEMming. If you don't see me roaming the halls of the 'tute avoiding work, you can find me running, working out, reading, or playing video games.

I'm a first year grad student in Biological Oceanogaphy, working on plankton population dynamics. It may look like I'm a biologist doing math, but secretly, I'm a mathematician doing biology. My free time is mostly filled with books, books, books and the occasional board game.

I'm starting my third year as a grad student in Mechanical Engineering, aiming for a PhD. My research is about ice cream, which makes it easy to talk about. In addition to freezing things, I like to sing, walk by the river and explore places accessible by public transportation.

I treasure LEM because here I find comfort, support, creative ideas, a respite, a connection to the world, and people share with when all I can think is "Why?"

James Houghton '08 -- Prayerman of the board

I am a nutty aerospace engineering major who enjoys playing with tools, being outdoors, and learning new things. I am the chief instigator of all LEM related mischief, including but not limited to: hiding all the forks, putting rubber ducks in the baptismal font, and running off to explore the outdoors when everyone else is at breakfast.

I come to LEM for the warm, friendly community, the peace and quiet of the chapel, and the beauty of our worship. And the food.
