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.
