Cluster Co-Presidents Elected for 2024-2025 School Year

Pine Knoll Cluster: Inti Stephenson Castro ’25 and Talia Ivory ’25

Talia Ivory: “We have two main goals. First one, to make sure that everything we promised for [Pine Knoll] The Knoll gets done to the best of our ability. All of our events, the promises we made to our fellow Knollers. We also want to make headway on things we’ve promised school-wide.”

Inti Stephenson Castro: “Definitely [be excited for] our new munches. One that we’re hoping will become popular is our ramen nights. We’re planning on getting packaged ramen with tea kettles so people can make their own ramen.

 

West Quad South Cluster: Ivy Randall ’25 and Jack McVeigh ’25

Jack McVeigh: “We don’t want to be the Co-Presidents who people talk about [as] having done nothing. We really want to stick to our platform and advocate for as many things as we put on. That includes some [changes] regarding day students. Our cluster has the most day students out of any other cluster, so it’s really important to our identity as a cluster… On top of [that], we want to make this as entertaining a year as possible for the community.

 

West Quad North Cluster: Lily Williamson ’25 and Josh Espinoza ’25

Lily Williamson: “We have a couple of goals all centering around that idea of community building. We really want to build some new events for West Quad North as well as carry on the traditions and the amazing work that [former Co-Presidents] Ashley Park ’24 and Louis Leone ’24 have already done. One thing that we have in store that’s really exciting, is a music festival in collaboration with WPAA [Andover’s radio station]…We also have some goals for sustainability, a clothing drive at the end of the year, especially for boarding students who don’t know what to do with their excess clothing… [We’re] really just working to showcase how amazing West Quad North is and representing all of the people in the cluster.”

 

Abbot Cluster: Charles Vest ’25 and Migyu Kim ’25

Migyu Kim: “Our number one goal is to bring fun and community to Abbot. One of the big parts of our platform was that Abbot, because there are so many small dorms, tends to [have] so many micro-communities. We want to bring the cluster together and unite them to form one united community, [to] bond and create memories… Charles and I are really excited and always open to recommendations. Anything you want to see, just come talk to us.”

 

Flagstaff Cluster: Rishi Rane ’25 and Naima Reid ’25

Naima Reid: “I’m just really excited to connect with everyone in the cluster… We [also] want to emphasize transparency [for] the rules and why they exist. Every year there’s a lot of transgressions and a lot of them are genuine mistakes, and we want to avoid those mistakes and minimize the stress of going through the disciplinary process. We also want to make sure all students feel supported and are supported to make space for connection and community development. We want to involve House Counselors and campus adults to make sure that people feel like they have someone to go to.”
