Meet The Presidents

Knott Hall is unique in that it runs on a 3 co-president election cycle. While most dorms have a prez and VP, Knott knows that to get things done, you need a solid team. Along with various commissioners, the presidents work to put on programming throughout the year.​

Culture Is King

As your presidents, we want to strive to make Knott Hall a place everyone is proud to call home. We want to live up to our saying, that Knott is home to unprecedented levels of fellowship. To us this culture of fellowship is everything, and we will do all we can to grow it and preserve it.​ 

​Our goals for 2021 are to build back better in Knott, increase inclusivity, plan more events, and overall grow our presence on campus
