New Student BOard Member
We are excited to welcome Lily Gebhart to the Boundless Brilliance Board of Directors. She will be serving in the STUDENT Board member position. We created the STUDENT Board member position in 2021 because we wanted to ensure that a member of the population that we served would be able to directly participate in the decision-making of the organization as well as help to guide our programmatic and operational strategies, ultimately helping to ensure that we are upholding our mission.
Lily Gebhart is a sophomore mathematics and cognitive science double major at Occidental College. She is the current president of the Occidental College chapter of Boundless Brilliance, and has been involved in the organization since August 2021. On campus, she is also involved in Dance Production, Habitat for Humanity, mathematics tutoring, and computational cognitive science and particle physics research. Lily greatly enjoys teaching and developing resources to help others find joy in intellectual pursuits and cultivate passions of their own. She plans to pursue a PhD in Computational Cognitive Science and work in academia. In her free time, Lily enjoys hiking and biking through Northern California, knitting, and reading.

I've loved mentoring elementary kids in summer camps, Sunday School, and after-school programs. Some of her favorite STEM classes include general chemistry and human anatomy. Angela hopes that Boundless Brilliance at Westmont grows into a great community that not only serves our local schools, but also provides our volunteers with opportunities for bonding and leadership.
