President and Editor-in-Chief: Prometheus

Co-founded Prometheus, the Johns Hopkins University Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy in September 2008. Within a year of inception, we grew from a fledgling organization into the premier undergraduate philosophy journal in the world, thanks to initiatives that I helped start and lead, including:

• Print journal. Annually, we publish in print the highest quality undergraduate philosophy. Responsibilities include organization and layout design.
• Online journal. We publish a first-of-its-kind online journal for dissemination and discussion of undergraduate philosophy.  I designed and implemented the website in addition to proposing the idea.
• Editorial workshop. Helped create a new course in the Philosophy department in which our staff receives credit for reviewing submissions.
• Seminar series. Each spring, we host a graduate student seminar series.  Topics have been "Meaning, Method and Motivation: Perspectives on the Nature and Scope of Philosophy" and "Philosophy and the Academy."
• Undergraduate conference. Each year, we host a one-day conference in which students from the mid-atlantic region present papers on interesting philosophical topics.  We also recruit a keynote speaker from local faculties.

Phi Kappa Psi Foundation

As a brother of the Maryland Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, I have been awarded the following scholarship awards (funded by the Phi Kappa Psi Foundation):

• 2010: Matthew Crenson Award for Outstanding Academic Record. This award is given to the brothers who have demonstrated excellent academic performance. GPA, research, and other academic pursuits are considered here, as is the extent to which the applicant has sought to challenge himself academically.

• 2009: John Galloto Award for Academic Contribution. Given to the brother who makes the greatest contribution to the academic life of the chapter. A multitude of factors beyond GPA will be considered here, especially mentoring and academic leadership within the brotherhood.
