Eduardo Andino ([email protected]) is a Junior in Trumbull College.	Eduardo is among the co-founders of UBYC and a member of other organizations on campus such as Choose Life at Yale. Some of his favorite musical styles are flamenco guitar, Gregorian chant, and Indian classical music (he thanks the Yale Raga Society’s concerts for this). Although a group like UBYC implies outspokenness, his ideal free time activity is to retreat to the Trumbull library and read all day. He is above all very happy for the great friendships he has made at Yale.
Bijan Aboutorabi ([email protected]) is a junior in Trumbull College and an English major.	Bijan is originally from Green, Ohio, where neighborhoods are surrounded by cornfields and the most popular hangout is a gas station. Here at Yale, he is a member of the Conservative Party of the Yale Political Union and Choose Life at Yale. He is a fellow with the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program and writes guest columns on occasion for the Yale Daily News. His spare time is occupied surfing the Internet, reading, dozing, hanging out with his friends and suitemates, and composing verse in antiquated forms.
Dashell Laryea ([email protected]) is a junior in Timothy Dwight College and a Political Science major.	Dashell is originally from Fairfax, Virginia, just outside the nation’s capital. Here at Yale, his favorite course has been the Directed Studies program; among others things, he enjoys daydreaming how he may dare disturb the universe.
Isabel Marin ([email protected]) is a senior Humanities major with a concentration in Intellectual History at Yale College.	Isabel focuses her academic studies on the development of the West and the influence of ideas on its culture. Isabel is the president of Choose Life at Yale, captain of the Yale Cheerleading Team, the former Chairman of the Federalist Party, a chorister at the Episcopal Church at Yale, and a coach at St. Martin de Porres Middle School. Upon graduation, Isabel is considering three options, the combination and sequence of which are as of yet undetermined: embarking on a PhD in history or classics, acquiring a law degree, and/or accepting a commission as second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps.
Radhika Koul ([email protected]) is a sophomore in Timothy Dwight College and might just be a Humanities major, though that could easily change.	Radhika was born and brought up in a town in eastern India, Ranchi, and attended high school in Delhi. Radhika is a Kashmiri Pandit—one of the Hindu natives of the land of Kashmir in India. She spent the last summer researching for the book she plans to write on her land and community. Here at Yale, she is the Treasurer of the Yale Political Union and a member of the Conservative Party. She likes to perform Kathak, an Indian classical dance, but spends most of her time listening to her favorite music and spending quality time with friends.
Travis Heine ([email protected]) is a sophomore in Pierson College and a (potential) Humanities major.	Travis hails from Houston, and though he’ll always be a Texan, a part of his heart took up permanent residence in the Shire during his ninth year. He participates heavily in Yale’s Catholic community and the Yale Conservative Party, and recently joined Choose Life at Yale and the Yale Gilbert and Sullivan Society. In his spare time he skilllessly and enthusiastically puns, sings, and dances, and also engages in intellectual conversations after (and only after) he has strategically placed impressively ancient, thick, and dusty texts on the table in front of him.
Courtney McEachon ([email protected]) is looking to pursue a major in Biomedical Engineering.	Courtney was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, where she attended Nardin Academy High School. A Yale freshman, she, though she relishes studying the Classics, particularly Latin. She has spent her last two summers working for NASA and the Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute. Courtney is a member of Choose Life at Yale and involves herself with the St. Thomas More community and the undergraduate organization, Yale Faith and Action. Her hobbies include reading, playing pick-up ultimate Frisbee games, and listening to music.

About UBYC

We believe Yale can do better. We exist, therefore, to advocate for a better sexual culture, one grounded in genuine respect and self-giving love; to oppose campus attitudes and events that offer a degrading and trivializing vision of sexuality; and to embody the alternative in our personal lives to the best of our abilities. We stand for a Yale where sexual objectification is unknown, where freshmen are not pressured to accept inebriated hook-ups as the default lifestyle, and where students’ romantic lives teach them to love and respect the whole person, not just the body or particular parts thereof.

We stand, in short, for a better Yale. We challenge you to join us.
