Secretary-Historian-Publicity Committee

AKA SHiP
The Secretary-Historian-Publicity committee, or SHiP for short, fills several key roles within PASU. Our duties include recording PASU’s weekly core meeting minutes, archiving event data and media, assisting committees in event publicity, and managing PASU’s social media presence. Whether it’s creating the wittiest caption, taking the perfect pictures, or finding the best GIFs for the post meeting emails, SHiP works hard to show our members, and the broader Stanford and Bay Area community, all that PASU accomplishes on a daily basis. This year, the committee chairs have a lot of new ideas to strengthen PASU’s presence online, such as revamping the website and strengthen SHiP’s relationship with other committees, through collaborations on publicity and social media management. ​

SHiP Co-Chairs

Christian Escalante
Hello lovelies, my name is Christian Escalante and I’m one of the SHiP co-chairs! I’m a currently an undeclared sophomore, but I’m definitely leaning towards Anthropology. I was born in the Philippines and lived there until I was nine years old, after which I moved to Alaska. Stanford is a lot bigger than my home town in Alaska, and finding a community can be really hard. But since that fateful fall day in 2015, when I saw the Filipino flag waving in White Plaza and immediately bolted to it, I have had family on the Farm. Yes I mean PASU, and yes I am addicted to their quirky, yet agit personalities. I'm coffee junkie, so let me know if you want to get coffee and chat. I hope that those of you who took the time to read this bio take the time to get to know other members of the PASU community too--or better yet join the community!
Liezl Puzon
Hi! I’m Liezl (Lie-zuhl), a junior studying computer science. I was a frosh intern on Kaba but this year I’m a co-chair on SHiP. My favorite pastime is going to concerts of any genre of music. I also love playing video games so hit me up if you ever want to chill and play some couch co-ops.​

SHiP Interns

Tiffany Manuel
​Kumusta! My name is Tiffany Manuel and I am one of the frosh interns for SHiP. I come from San Diego, CA and am currently considering a major in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science, or vice versa. It has been a dream of mine to attend Stanford University ever since Gabriella Montez considered dropping Troy Bolton to come here. However, as amazing as Stanford is, my college experience wouldn't be complete without a community that shares my appreciation for the Filipino culture -- in other words, I need PASU in my life. I'm looking forward to forming new friendships and blessing the rest of Stanford with the knowledge of how awesome us Pinoys are! 
Alaiah Joi Faris
Hello everyone! My name is Alaiah Faris, and I'm a frosh intern for SHiP this year. I'm interested in studying Linguistics and/or Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies, along with a lot of other things. I like long walks on the beach, coffee with a little too much cream, and - Oh, this isn't a dating profile? My bad. But seriously, I'm super excited to be a part of PASU this year, and I can't wait to get to know everyone.
​Tenzin Wangdak
Hello!
I'm Tenzin, and I am a frosh intern for SHiP this year!
I'm originally from Chicago, IL, but I just moved into the suburbs this past summer.
As of right now, I am thinking about majoring in Hum Bio, but I am still exploring my options.
Outside of PASU I am a staff member at the Asian American Activities Center and an active member of the Stanford Friends of Tibet organization.
For fun I like to play tennis, attempt hand lettering, and practice karate.
((I've done karate for 10+ years, so if any of you are interested hmu!))
Anyways, I'm excited to be a part of an amazing community like PASU, and am looking forward to what this year will bring!
