Salisbury University Philosophical Society
Officers
President: Nick Calkins
Hey, I’m Nick. I’m a junior philosophy and English major,
returning to the Philosophical Society for my third semester and
first as an officer (Treasurer). Joining the club was a perfect
supplement to my formerly solitary study, while also introducing
me to a welcoming atmosphere and interesting people. Professors
and members alike will gladly discuss any topic under the
philosophical sun. As for myself, I’m likewise open, though
especially interested in existentialism, metaphysics, and any
literature exploring the two. Outside of philosophy,
electronica, post-rock, fantasy/sci-fi novels and Nintendo games
are my primary areas of study.
If you are at all philosophically inclined, I encourage you to
come to an event and check the club out yourself. If you have
any questions about the club or myself, feel free to talk
to/email me anytime.

Vice-President: Harry Snoots
To be, or not to be. Is that REALLY the question?
My name is Harry Snoots, only my second semester within the
Philosophical Society, first as an officer. I came to SU as a
Psychology major, but a simple Philosophy 101 had me hooked on
to a double major and there is no turning back. So far, I
greatly enjoy the works of Socrates and Plato, mostly because
my experience and range of ideas is lacking. I hope that changes
fast! I have a drag, boring life, and that isn't a joke. The
only interesting feature I have: I draw. Not really well, but I
do! I am known to be extremely sarcastic, but that's isn't a
bad thing right? Right. I am open to discussions with anyone,
as long as I am not sleeping or on my way to class. Just find
me and spark a chat! I have a wide range of ideas and am known
for my arguing abilities (Everyone says I should be a lawyer...
BORING!). I hope that we can come up with some events that
everyone will enjoy and see some new faces this semester!

Secretary: Katie Connolly
iHola! My name is Katie and I am a
super super senior (because one super just wasn’t enough)
majoring in philosophy with a minor in psychology. This is
my third semester taking philosophy courses and my first
semester as an officer. As you can tell from my picture, I
am extremely serious, never laugh and have no idea how to
have any fun. Kidding! I love to find the humor in everyday
situations and love being outside. You can catch me all
around campus barefoot and usually with a Frisbee in hand. I
love to talk about pretty much everything, philosophically
speaking and the latter. I am especially inspired by
philosophy that deals with the treatment of animals, nature
and the relationships between different cultures. Don’t be
discouraged by philosophical texts; they are supposed to be
tough! But, talking them through with someone, especially
someone who likes to talk (wink wink), is extremely helpful
and you will quickly begin to see why philosophy is so
incredible! It will take your mind on the most intellectual
adventures your brain has ever been on! Stop by and see us
sometime, you won’t be disappointed…And I can assure that
you will at least have one good laugh and walk away with a
smile on your face.
Stay spunky, funky, movin’ and groovin’…
Cheers!

Treasurer:
Gianluca Ortwerth
 My name is Gianluca, but people call me Luca- this is my first
semester at Salisbury University, I transferred in as a junior
from Montgomery College and am currently pursuing a Philosophy
Major with a Minor in Sociology. I tend to appear to be shy and
quiet but if you can spark my interest (which doesn’t take too
much) you will see me transform into the talkative and fun
person I am. When it comes to philosophy I love looking at how
ancient philosophers played a major role in shaping the basis of
Christianity. I am known for my propensity towards public
speaking. Outside of philosophy I love writing poetry, watching
the Mentalist, listening to good music I mean I’m talking Frank
Sinatra, Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Michael
Bublé and yes Seth MacFarlane. Oh. And if you get on
my good side you might just get to try some of my Chicken
Marsala.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said,
“All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is
necessary is only to try to think them again.”
So come on by and we might just think those intelligent thoughts
already thought up before- and heck! We’ll have some fun while
we’re at it!
