Matt Slade

Matt Slade is a senior studying International Relations and Chinese. He was raised in Boulder, Colorado but was born in the Bay Area, a fact he desperately tries to hide to maintain his mountaineer facade. Growing up practically on top of a mountain, Matt was desperate to get out of LA and into the woods and mountains that remind him of home. When he’s not in the classroom or on the trails, Matt can be found in Trader Joe’s looking at the cheese section longingly or watching the squirrels behind Bovard. If you see Matt, feel free to ask him about his love of maps, the latest sci-fi book he’s reading, or his career goal of becoming a lighthouse keeper.
