2009 CA Coordinators

	Jacob Denz Jacobis a German major who hails from Greenwood, Indiana. He enjoys seitan, running errands, and texts into which he can sink his teeth. Jacob’s life plans are as yet undecided, but he is certainly hopeful that someone else will pay for them. His plans for the beginning of the fall semester, however, could not but include a hefty dose of CA, a program which has from his first days at Princeton has figured as one of the most important parts of his “undergraduate career.” He thinks we can all agree that the program is possibly the best thing since CatchPhrase.
	Peale Iglehart Peale, like “peel a banana,” is a rising senior from Baltimore, MD. She’s a religion major, but no, she is not going to be a minister. Next year she’s student teaching elementary schoolers through Teacher Prep. She has an unusual fondness for 90s music. She likes ridiculously spicy food and ridiculously wack nail polish. She met some of her best friends during her freshman year CA week, so she’s a big fan of CA! Also, she thinks Oprah is pretty fab.
	Danielle Rochlin Danielle is a senior from Los Angeles, California, majoring in Molecular Biology and pursuing a certificate in the Woodrow Wilson School. She is involved with Princeton Model Congress, Orange Key, and USG Academics, and loves to travel and eat frozen yogurt. She volunteered at Anchor House as a freshman and has been a leader of the Homefront and Princeton Project groups. She is SO excited for the 2009 CA program and cannot wait to meet everyone in the fall!
