	Judette Tobes - Resident Director Hello! Welcome to the Xavier Community! This is my first year as the Resident Director of Xavier RLC and I'm super excited to work with everyone! A little bit about me - I was born and raised in San Francisco and went to UCLA for my dual Bachelor's degree in French and Economics. After working for UCLA for a year, I decided to get my Master's of Education specializing in Higher Education Administration at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. For the last three years, I was a Resident Director at Boston College mainly working with sophomore students. Needless to say, I am happy to be back in the Bay Area and away from the cold winters! In my spare time I golf, run, snowboard and just generally stay active. My office is in the main lobby of Sanfilippo, so please stop by and say hello.
	Br. Keith Warner - Faculty Director Keith Douglass Warner OFM is a native San Franciscan and a Franciscan Friar. He is faculty director of Xavier RLC, and enjoys fostering student growth and development in the Xavier themes of faith, justice and global solidarity. He is a lecturer in the Religious Studies Department and the assistant director for education at the Center for Science, Technology & Society. He has taught classes on the interface between religious studies and environmental studies at SCU since 2003. His research investigates the emergence of stewardship and sustainability ethics within scientific and religious institutions, and how these institutions deploy moral discourse to foster a more just and sustainable society. He has written about the retrieval of the Franciscan tradition and religious environmental ethics.
	Chris Drubka - ARD 3rd floor short wing Hey all! I'm the Assistant Resident Director (ARD) for the Xavier RLC. Most of you probably don't know what that means, but all you need to know is that I'm the boss of the CFs and the "old guy" around the building...who's still cool (promise)! Seriously...seniors are totally bodacious! I am an Accounting major, I love to breakdance and I have a cactus in my room. Most people also know me as "Drubs." I'm on 3rd floor, short wing with Stacy, so come visit any time. Come read my fun posters outside my room and get your daily chuckle. This is my first year in Sanfilippo; I spent my last three years in Campisi and I plan on bringing a new energy to Xavier this year!
	Julia Claire Landry - Resident Minister 2nd floor long wing Hi! I'm Julia Claire and I'm the Resident Minister in Xavier. My dog, Annie and I absolutely love living in Sanfilippo. Though we are new to the Xavier community, this is my 4th year as a Resident Minister. I also work at the university as a full-time Campus Minister, where I serve as the Director of Retreats. This year in Xavier I hope we can share many experiences: getting to know one another, celebrating the joys of college life, striving to make a difference for those less fortunate, and broadening our horizons and consciousnesses. What a great year is before us!!
	Sara Phillips - CF 1st floor long wing Aloha! I am so excited to meet all of you folks and welcome you to our Xavier home! I’ll be the community facilitator on the first floor, long wing, a super awesome wing!! I was born and raised on ‘Oahu, Hawai’i and will be an Island girl forever, no matter where life takes me. I’m a Computer Engineering and Web Design major, a new major to Santa Clara University. I love to play guitar and enjoy learning how to play new songs, so drop by anytime you want to play and we’ll have a jam sesh :) I love chocolate and cheese…obviously not together. But put chocolate on any dessert and cheese on almost any food and I’ll love it! I also love flowers. They just make me happy. So here’s to a great year Xavier! Lets make this one rock!
	Michael Erkelens- CF 1st floor short wing Hey everyone, my name is Michael Anthony Erkelens. I am originally from Guatemala, where I was born and raised, and now I live in Mission Viejo California. I am 19 and exited about all the opportunities coming my way. I am the youngest of 3 brothers, and a new uncle as of July 15th. Photography is my passion, and everything I do in life I try to do photography with it. I am currently a sophomore here at Santa Clara at the Leavy School of Business (undeclared for now, but probably a marketing major, with a studio art minor). I am exited for the this year, and the adventures that will come.
	Brent Daniels - CF 2nd floor long wing Greetings. I am Brent Daniels from Palos Verdes which is just outside Los Angeles on the coast. I’m going to be a sophomore this year and am an undeclared business major. I spend the majority of my time at the beach when I’m home. I will eat Mexican food everyday but it has to be good Mexican food (yes, I am spoiled with good Mexican food in LA). I love being active and spending time in the wild. Snow skiing, backpacking, rock climbing, or riding my bike on the strand is what I’m all about. My favorite contact sport would probably be Catch Phrase. Other than that I try not to take life too seriously and I make it a personal goal to make others laugh.
	Melba Mathew - CF 2nd floor short wing Yo Xavier! I'm so excited to be CFing this year! Here's a few facts about me: I lived in Sobrato last year. I'm a sophomore, studying Economics, possibly Public Health and Religious studies; born in India, raised in San Jose. I love to play soccer, I try to paint, I play the piano and bass guitar, and I'm an avid pro-wrestling fan. Just kidding. But pretty much, I'm a simple girl, I keep busy, but I'm always down to talk or chill. My door is open. Keep it real :)
	Andy Victor - CF 3rd floor long wing Hey y'all! My name is Andy Victor and I was born and raised in Dallas, TX. I am a junior, religious studies major and love everything about SCU. This is my 2nd year as a CF, but my first in Xavier so I am very excited to be a part of this fantastic community. I really enjoy many things and am excited by even the simplest things. I love to be outside and to be active, especially when playing sports or doing some type of flip is involved. I work in Campus Ministry as an intern as well as at Media Services. I truly try to enjoy life at all times and have recently been living by the following mantra: Live, Laugh, Labor, Love. Feel free to come talk to me in room 319, my door is almost always open.

I'm originally from Santa Clara but my home is in Manteca, California (major cow town, but I love it). I've played guitar since I was 12 and I play tennis & try to stay active. I love every single type of music but my favorite is probably 90's alternative. Also, I really love meeting people & trying new things, so I can't wait to start the year! =)
