Caroline Angell, Secretary & Treasurer
Film Music Composition, '22
Caroline is passionate about helping give a voice to the voiceless and supporting
stories that deserve to be heard. Through the language of music, she aims to make
audible connections between the inner thoughts and feelings to given life situations
in film. She believes that music has the capacity to express the things words alone
cannot as well as expand perspectives by highlighting nonverbal communication, as
film is so visual. She is also a strong advocate for others and cares about optimizing
the lives of all people no matter what background they come from. She is excited to
be on the grad school council!

Callista Hunt, Filmmaking Representative
Film Music Composition, '22
Callista loves to write music and began composing and playing the piano at a young
age. Her enthusiasm for film music has paralleled her journey as a composer; in fact,
it was her love for a particular film score that inspired her to become a musician.
Callista grew up in Eugene, Oregon. In 2020, she graduated from the University of
Oregon with a dual bachelor’s degree in Psychology, General Music and Spanish. She
is grateful to be studying music full-time now! When she is not composing music, Callista
enjoys running, hiking, drawing, painting, watching movies and enjoying quality time
with family/friends. She is honored to be a part of GSC, and hopes her contributions
positively support the community at UNCSA.
