Hey y’all! My name is Colin Bolek (he/him) and I am excited to serve as your Chief Justice. I am a fourth year student studying quantitative economics and international studies with interests in game theory, decision theory, constitutional and international law, or just about any subject folks are passionate about and willing to talk about with me. Outside of class, I like to spend time talking about and playing basketball, listening to my record player, running around campus, and cooking in my too-small kitchen.
I am grateful for this opportunity, and most importantly, the opportunity to get to work trying to help ASUCI fulfill its mission to serve you.
