Chloe Mintz

↳ President

The president manages the executive board and runs the weekly executive board and full board meetings. The president is a trained SOFO officer and coordinates the long-term planning (while representing) all ten residential colleges at the university level.

Chloe Mintz (she/her) is a second-year from Tampa, Florida, majoring in Journalism and (tentatively) Economics. She possesses an immense passion for reading and writing and is prone to gushing over Sally Rooney (a favorite author of hers), Stephanie Hayes (a favorite columnist of hers), and Alexandra Schwartz (a favorite journalist of hers). If Chloe is not crafting (unhinged) articles nor scouring the internet for any (and all) T-Swift references, you’ll find her at Colectivo, cold brew oat-chata in hand.

Contact the president if you have questions or comments about the residential college program in general, if you have opinions about long-term planning and large-scale issues in the residential colleges, or if you have questions about the Residential College Board executive elections.
