Matt Stillerman, Education Chair

I am an outdoor enthusiast and long-time Ithaca resident. It's been my pleasure to be involved with the Outing Club for about 20 years. I recall very fondly a bicycle tour over Spring Break to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Generally, I enjoy messing around in the woods in all seasons, particularly with a focus on the natural world.
