Joseph Ferrari

When asked where he is from, Joseph Ferrari replied, “The fifth dimension” and this is not too far from the truth. In actuality, Joseph was born in the Los Angeles area and has spent most of his life here in Claremont, California. Around campus, Joseph is known for his witty comments and being one of Webb’s only pole vaulters. Joseph is an unparalleled Star Wars fan here on campus and is President of the Star Wars Club. He is also an avid paleontology student and some of his favorite memories at Webb have come from his time in the Paleontology Program. Joseph enjoys paleontology for the people involved and the research opportunities it provides. When not searching for new species in the Wyoming wilderness Joseph spends time with his friends playing Dungeons and Dragons and discussing the finer points of intergalactic hyperspace routes in a galaxy far far away. Joseph is always involved in Theme Nights and was an integral behind-the-scenes operator in each of the three senior theme night victories, involved in both writing scripts for, and the production of, the theme night performances. Joseph did not have a normal reading list as a child, he grew up reading Steven Hawkings Brief History of Time and other “science books.” In turn, Joseph will be spending his college years in Chicago, studying Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. Joseph is not sure what aspect of Webb he will miss more the community or the climate, as Chicago is known for its frigid winter temperatures.
