Gabriela (Gabi) Kaminski- President
Hiya, I'm Gabi! I'm a senior in History and Art History, with a minor in Anthropology. I'm super excited to be the president this year, as I have lots of exciting plans for this upcoming school year. I'm hoping to enter into the museum field after graduation, so I've been working hard as a Registration Assistant at Spurlock Museum of World Cultures. While I'm not studying nor working, I love to sew and play video games. If you have any questions, or just want to chat, feel free to email me at [email protected]! (: |
Justin Wytmar - Vice President
Hi! I'm Justin, and I'm a sophomore majoring in History, and likely minoring in Italian. My historical interests are pretty broad, but I'm most interested in the way that cultural and intellectual movements effect politics and society at large. When I'm not studying for classes, I'm probably listening to music or voraciously reading a book |
Julie Matuszewski- Secretary
Hello! My name is Julie and I am a junior studying History and Psychology with a minor in Legal Studies. I’ve enjoyed all of my history classes here at Illinois but especially those that focus on Britain in the 17th and 18th century. You can also find me working at the Spurlock Museum. I’m very excited to be secretary this year and can’t wait to see everything this this RSO accomplishes!

Camryn Reschke - Director of Public Relations
Hello! My name is Camryn and I am a sophomore History and Creative Writing major here at Illinois. In my time in university I have taken many history classes with various central focuses, but my favorite areas of study within the field are the World Wars and theories of nation-building. I love writing, specifically historical fiction, and have been published in a few literary magazines. Further, I am a part of the Illini Undergraduate History Journal and work as an editor for the group. When I am not studying, I love to read and I also collect perfumes and candles. I am very excited to be apart of this RSO and hope to have a wonderful year!
