Ethics Chair

Ethics Committee Lead

Hi everyone! I’m Geena Zebrasky, and I’m the Treasurer this year. I’m a senior Geography and Biology major, and I really like being outside and looking for bugs, identifying plants, and just seeing what I can find. I also really like to read! I joined DLC because I’ve been a part of it since freshman year and I really love seeing all of the orgs grow and continue traditions every year.

Office Hours: Thursday, 4-5pm & Friday 3:30-5:30pm (CIE)

Hello Everyone, my name is Zachary Gbor and I am the public relations chair for DLC this 2022-23 school year. I am a senior individualized public health major from Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Outside of DLC, I am one of the co-presidents of the Pan Afrikan Student Organization and am also a Peer Assistant, where I serve as one of the DEI Co-Chairs. I joined DLC to be able to encourage more collaboration amongst all the amazing different organizations here on campus. Stop by my office hours in the CIE on Fridays from 12:30-2:30 to chat.

Office Hours: Monday & Friday, 1:30-2:30pm (CIE)

Hi everyone! My name is Gabe Maurer, and I am a junior political and
environmental science double major! This year I am serving as the DLC's
parliamentarian and co-lead of the D-Ball committee. I originally joined
DLC through Student Senate and Model United Nations, and I grew to have a
real passion for the work that DLC did to make our campus a more welcoming
place. So naturally, the next step was to get involved at the next level
up. I am looking forward to promoting and creating fun events on campus for
everyone to enjoy!

Office Hours: Tusesday & Wednesday, 4:30-5:30pm (CIE)

Hey everyone! My name is Mukhtar and I’m a junior Computer Science major. This year I will be the ethics chair for DLC. Since there was not an ethics chair last year, I’m interested to see how it will improve DLC. Outside of DLC, I’m a member of PASO and the treasurer for MSA. In my free time, I like to hang out with friends and watch basketball.
