Lyndi Allison
I am a junior at UO and a double major in Dance and Biological Anthropology with a minor in Ethics. I’m from Phoenix, Arizona, and I plan to continue dancing in California after graduation. I am on the Duck Dancers dance team and am a member of Delta Gamma sorority outside of the SOMD. I am so excited to meet all of the incoming freshman and start a great year!

Raquel Armendariz
I’m from Portland, Oregon. I've been a peer advisor for the SOMD for 2 years. This is my last year at UO working towards my double bass performance and music ed degrees. Some things I like to do in my free time include climbing, hiking, and crocheting.

I'm from Portland, Oregon, I'm in my third year of music education, and I play the trumpet! I currently serve on the UO cNAfME board, joined the Oregon Marching Band this year, and was previously a member of Divisi A Cappella. In my free time, I enjoy painting, making jewelry, and spending time outdoors!
