Our Mission
The mission of Humanist League is to build an inclusive, values-based community dedicated to breaking down the ideological barriers to widespread human flourishing. To this end, we celebrate freedom of inquiry in the domains of ethics, politics and theology, and promote constructive dialogue and mutual understanding on subjects that traditionally divide humanity.
Our Objectives:
- Build a close community committed to core humanist values.
- Provide a vital social space where members can safely engage in the collaborative testing of ethical, existential, theological and political hypotheses.
- Engage the adherents of other outlooks in open, honest dialogue aimed at mutual understanding.
- Promote humanism as a promising value foundation for harmonious co-existence, collaborative problem solving and a brighter future.

The Executive Board

President
Hi, I'm Clara! I'm a senior majoring in civil engineering, with a focus on structural engineering and intelligent building technology, and minoring in philosophy. In particular, I enjoy moral and ethical philosophy. In my free time, I like to play video games like Skyrim, Fable, and Minecraft; read and write fantasy novels; and most relevantly, debate and argue with people over both significant and insignificant topics.

Vice President
Hi I’m Alex! I’m a Junior Physics and EHPP major. I’d describe my system of morality as a kind of "principle of nonmaleficence" but for life! When I’m not here I work for a nonprofit teaching and mentoring kids from underrepresented groups to get them interested in STEM fields. I’m also part of FEMME, COMPASS, and FLOS. Fun fact, I collect vintage cameras and make black and white photos sometimes.

Events Coordinator
Hello, I'm Jeremy. I am a junior Computer Science major with a physics minor. Epistemologically, I am a fallibilist, which means that it is always possible to be less wrong. Morally, I am a proponent of natural rights who values knowledge. I love reading, learning, and collaborative argumentation.

Treasurer
Hey I'm Chanel! I'm a sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering and planning on minoring in Ethics. I like to find a common ground between two arguments and then figure out why one should choose one opinion over the other based on its facts, because I believe most arguments can be traced back to an objective truth. I'm also a tutor for NLA's Math Geniuses, which helps 7th-9th graders with Algebra. On my free time, I listen to music (usually hiphop or salsa), watch cute cat videos, and surf Reddit.

Social Chair
Heya, my name’s Eddie. I’m the social chair and a graduate student at Heinz, studying the sciences of public policy and management. Yes, they’ve made it into a science. Working in housing policy, I enjoy talking about queer theory, trauma theory, institutional racism, and the culture of poverty. You could say I’m moderately liberal, with a hint of injustice theory, a pinch of negative utilitarianism, and a whole lot of anti-authoritarian complex. In my free time I can be found sharing pretty popsci images, listening to trip-hop and neo soul, or playing Pokemon rom hacks on a GBA emulator.

Media Manager
Greetings, I am Aiko! I'm a senior Physics and Computer Science major with a minor in Philosophy. I'm still just trying to figure it all out, sometimes feeling a bit lost in all the systems of morality and epistemology, while other times feeling like it makes sense. I love sci-fi (especially Star Trek), dancing, and yoga.
