Secretary

Maureen Stych

Maureen (or Mo, as nearly everyone calls her), is a History of Art major and enthusiast of beautiful things. As Secretary of Arts Chorale, Mo (happily) learns everyone's names so she can take attendance at practice. She is also in charge of organizing carpools and t-shirt purchasing, which caters nicely to her love of road trips and designing t-shirts. On campus, she designs pages for The Michigan Daily newspaper, and works as an intern at the University Musical Society in the Programming Department. When she isn't singing with the AC (a rare sight, indeed), Mo is usually designing postcards, running, taking pictures, trying to figure out her future, or doing Will Shortz's crosswords. Questions? Email Mo at .

Treasurer

Katie Holden

Katie is a sophomore in LSA and is majoring in Math. When she’s not singing with Arts Chorale, Katie enjoys hanging out with friends, procrastination, watching movies and just moseying around campus. However, the moseying often leads her to the grad library where you can find her studying most frequently. This is her second semester in Arts Chorale, and she is in charge of all member dues, AC finances, and fund raisers. If you have any questions you can reach her at .

Music Manager

Minhdzuy Khorami

Minhdzuy is a sophomore in LSA and majoring in Communication Studies. Though he doesn’t know what that means, he aspires to be a TV Writer. He promises not to forget you, the little people, when he makes it big. Minhdzuy joined Arts Chorale the Winter 2009 semester and immediately became obsessed with the group, attending far too many AC activities (ACtivities) and periodically stalking the former E-board. He’s also from DC, evidenced by his unconditional love for the Washington Redskins. When not Arts Choraling or crying about his team’s most recent loss, Minhdzuy enjoys writing for the RC Players, watching obscene amounts of television, and correcting various pronunciations of his name. He is in charge of keeping track of music, passing out folders, and buying pretty flowers. Though he can be reached with a special frequency whistle, you can also email him at if you have any questions.

Historian

Baylee Corcoran

Baylee is a sophomore in LSA with a major in English and French, along with a Korean Studies minor. She just transferred from Loyola University Chicago, and while she misses the city, she loves Ann Arbor! When she is not in Arts Chorale or talking with previous AC alums, she volunteers at a first grade classroom, takes walks with her dog Coltrane, and dances to 70's music. She is so excited about the upcoming semesters, so feel free to contact her at if you have any questions about what the historian does or how you can help!

Webmaster

Daniel Cox

Daniel is a junior in Mechanical Engineering and hopes to acquire a Masters degree before leaving the University - mostly so that he can stay in Arts Chorale for an extra year. After attaining his graduate degree, he will require everyone to call him "Master Cox" with a British Accent. Until then, however, calling him "Dan" will suffice. On the rare occasion that he is not singing with Arts Chorale, he can be found on stage (or behind the scenes or writing) with the RC Players, or playing with his guitar and writing ridiculous songs in the Arb when it's not too chilly. Dan is also in charge of updating the website, so shoot him an email at if you have any comments or concerns regarding this site.

Codi Sharp

Codi is a junior in LSA. She's majoring in the Program in the Environment and currently completely unsure of how she wants to apply this degree. When she's not singing with Arts Chorale, Codi is leading an SLC study group for CHEM 215, splashing in mud puddles, jumping rope to the Beatles, or saving the planet. She started singing with AC freshman year, and hopes that you will join too! As President, Codi's job is to ensure that everything in choir and the executive board runs smoothly. If you need to reach Codi, or have any choir-related concern, question, or information please email her at .

Secretary

Maureen Stych

Historian

Caleb Heyman

Caleb is a junior english and history major from Ardsley, New York, just outside of New York City. This is his third semester in AC. He joined because he has always wanted sing outside of his shower and car, but never took the initiative to join a choir. He's really excited to have a leadership position; he can't wait to get to know everyone better. He spends most of his studying hours at Espresso on State Street, so if anyone has a choir-history emergency (of which he's sure there will be many) that is the most likely place to find him. If, for whatever reason, you can't find him at Espresso, send him an email at . He's looking forward to serving you all!
