Jordan Lee - Stanford

President

Major or Intended Major: Biology and Classics
Years in JCL: 4
Favorite Greco-Roman Writer: Plautus

What I love most about SCL:
The CASCL has been a second home for me during my time in college. Having the opportunity to lead the CASCL during this unusual and unexpected time gives me great hope and responsibility to move the CASCL forward virtually and in-person. I am most looking forward to interacting with many high schools and colleges across California and the United States to inspire them to join one of the best organizations in California!

Favorite Greco-Roman Writer: Catullus

What I love most about SCL:
This organization blessed me with friendships all over the country. In the time of COVID, we can feel very alone. But the people I've grown to love are only a zoom call away, and I'm grateful for their companionship. This year, I want the distance to bring us closer than ever before. As we try to figure out how to navigate virtual events, I'm looking forward to revisiting what we value most as an organization.

Favorite Greco-Roman Writer:  Tie between Tacitus and Catullus

What I love most about SCL:
I’ve only been in SCL a few months, but so far what I love most is the people I’ve met! I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the CA board this year, and I am excited for the challenge of adapting the SCL-run parts of conventions to the circumstances imposed by the pandemic in as fun and effective a way as possible.

In terms of the upcoming school year, I’ve postponed my matriculation, so I won’t be attending until 2021. In the interim, I will be studying Attic Greek, writing, and (hopefully) traveling.

What I love most about SCL:
I'm most looking forward to building a stronger connection between the CASCL and the CAJCL! As someone who loved the JCL so much, I hope to foster that same love for the SCL in others. I plan to work my hardest to promote a fun, supportive community for SCLers and JCLers!
