Meet Lance!

When Lance was four years old, they visited a children’s museum, crafted a sock puppet and adorned it with googly eyes. Animated by Lance’s hand, the puppet unexpectedly encountered a tasty treat at a crosswalk in the form of a stranger’s posterior, much to the alarm of both the stranger and Lance.

This anecdote illuminates two of Lance’s standout qualities: their boundless creativity and knack for stumbling into unintentionally comedic situations.

Lance earned a PhD in Accounting from the University of Oregon. Currently, they share their expertise by teaching about sustainability in the business school and researching how businesses and other related entities are influenced by and impact environmental and social risks and opportunities. Beyond academia, Lance’s adventures continue—they can be found scaling cliffs, sipping kombucha, crafting speculative fiction, and cherishing moments with their partner, three beloved fur babies, and one cherished human child.

Meet Nicholas!

Nicholas Zamboni is a third-year UO student from Camarillo, California, centering his education around family and human service, with a focus on direct service. He’s a poet, a musician, a photographer, and an artist in any way he can be. He values joy, humor, and optimism as acts of resistance. This might come as a surprise, however, as his work mostly depicts themes of grief, loss, sorrow, and the unique fatigues of the world. His goal for the year is to become more connected to the community around him, and he hopes intertwined can act as an opportunity to do that.
