Brian Camozzi

Brian Camozzi is a member of the Knox College Class of 2008. He double majored in Political Science and anthropology/sociology. He currently attends law school at Georgetown.

Early Life

Brian grew up in Sacramento, California.

Brian and Geoff Brown both played Pancho, the virtuosic, guero-wielding fourth member of a Latin music quartet, in separate fifth-grade productions of the children's play KIDS Radio.

Activities

Brian doesn't go here anymore, and everything about him is irrelevant. In a year, no one will remember his name. But in his time he was, as they say, a man-about-campus, and occupied himself (and large sections of the administration) with numerous activities.

Honor Board

Brian was a Co-Chair of the Honor Board for Winter and Spring 2008. It kept him busy. Most notably, he spearheaded work to overhaul the Honor Board Constitution and Procedural Guidelines, in the process making bitter enemies with President Roger Taylor, who believes that his personal convenience is more important than the needs of students whose academic futures are at stake. He resigned in protest on 30 April 2008. He also did work on Grievance Panel reform.

Model UN

Brian was the Secretary-General of Model UN for 2007-2008. In January 2008 he led a crack team of nascent diplomats to Montreal. In April, he took a similar team (feat. Josh Roberts) to San Francisco.

The Wiki Fire

Brian does a lot of work on The Wiki Fire. Somebody once told him that The Wiki Fire was a lot more interesting before he started editing it.

Campus Politics

Brian was on Student Senate for two years.

Brian ran for Student Senate President for the 2007-2008 school year on a platform of significant reform to Senate in order to make it more democratic and more responsive. He intended to optimize Senate's institutional advantages to give students as much oversight as possible and as they are willing to accept, and also to ensure that Senate can function independently in effectively representing the general student body. He got trounced.

While he was not on Senate his senior year, he attended all the meetings and was more active than most senators. His involvement raised the ire of several administrators and the Senate Executive Board. He wrote the resolution that created the Senate Records Committee Chair; it was only passed because nobody knew he wrote it. He once rewrote the Student Senate Constitution. More than one Student Life Committee meeting was primarily dedicated to bitching about him.
