The Undergraduate Finance Board is composed of 12 elected students: the Chair, the Vice Chair, Student Activities Chair, UCS-UFB Liaison, and 8 at-large representatives. Each representative is responsible for supporting and representing approximately 20 student groups. Questions on budgets, policies, or anything related to UFB should be directed to your student group's assigned representative. 

Not sure who your representative is? Check out our current board members below to find out! If they don't respond to your emails, please reach out to Lisa or Julian! 

Lisa Schold - UFB Chair

ufb@brown.edu, lisa_schold@brown.edu

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a senior from Vermont studying Economics and Environmental Studies! I have been a part of UFB since my sophomore year and am excited to bring transparency and to strengthen UFB's relationship with the student body. Outside of UFB meetings, you can find me giving tours, in the library, or eating my way through Providence!

UFB Chair is not directly responsible for supporting groups. Instead, the chair oversees the board, works closely with SAO, and provides assistance to representatives of groups. Please reach out if you have any questions that your representative is unable to answer!

Like Lisa, I care a lot about UFB and feel that there is a lot that we can do to increase our transparency and operations. Outside of UFB, I play jazz piano, love to travel, and am interested in consulting.
