Eric Brown
- ARCC Leader Since: 2006
- Trips: Costa Rica Service, Hawaii, California, Rocky Mountain Leadership, Alaska Expedition

Eric first started leading trips when he served as a guide for freshman orientation groups while earning a degree in Anthropology from Princeton University. After completing a NOLS Himalaya Mountaineering Course, Eric knew that he wanted to have the same impact on students that his instructors had on him. He believes strongly in the power of the wilderness, which helps students achieve things they never thought possible.
“One of my favorite ARCC memories was on the last night of the Hawaii trip last summer. We stuffed ourselves with the celebratory final feast, and then played games until we collapsed under a sky of stars on the beautiful deserted beach. Our group grew to be more than just friends over the course of the trip, we were family, and nobody could bring themselves to say goodnight, knowing this would be our last time all together listening to the sound of the ocean and feeling the warm breeze of a Hawaiian night.”
