Neil BouseNeil Bouse, FIG Assistant

My name is Neil Bouse (like House but with a “B”) and I am a Senior from Southeast Portland. I am the FIG assistant for Hidden History (the FIG I was in as a Freshman) and am looking forward to meeting you all in the fall. Besides that, I am also a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, a Business major (most likely with a Marketing concentration) and History minor. I love football, basketball, baseball, and Northwest teams like the Blazers and Hawks. Congratulations on both becoming a duck and choosing Hidden History!
