Senior: Aerospace Engineering
George is Rube's Project Manager for this year, and for some reason also runs an Honor Society at the same time. This is his third year in Rube Goldberg, and no-one has killed him for his cursed jokes. Yet. George has been spending his time in quarantine playing interesting video games and catching up on all the tv shows that everyone keeps telling him to watch.

Secretary, Webmaster
Junior: Geosciences
This is Brianna's third year serving as Rube's Webmaster, a duty she holds near and dear to her heart, and it is her first year as secretary. She is NOT an engineer, and she will not hesitate to remind anyone of that; instead, Brianna is majoring in Geosciences with a concentration in Earth, Oceans, and Climate, and she is pursuing minors in Marine Science and History. When not suffering from stress or thinking about how she is suffering from stress, Brianna likes to spend time reading, exploring Tucson with her friends, and creating artwork with the skill of a kindergartener.
