Showered, brushed teeth, and tucked into bed by her closest friends in her beloved twelfth floor double (ask to see her view), Maya is sound asleep at a healthy 9:30 p.m. Waking up at a bright 7am, her first task is to stash her backpack with tons of GoGo Squeezes and will make sure her day is spent making the most of it. Maya is a Health Sciences and English (+ a minor in Medical Humanities!) sophomore who spreads her infectious joy to everyone around her through smiles and loving hugs. If you are ever looking to find the best acai bowls or Mediterranean food around Rice, Maya is a proud Houstonian (vegetarian!) who LOVES to explore but don’t accidentally kill her by feeding her a peanut (she almost died TWICE freshman year). When Maya isn’t exploring with her friends you can find her being a Rice tour guide, as a Sid RHA, or serving as our amazing Sid Secretary. Although she may only offer you sugar-free lemonade and the healthiest variety of snacks when you visit her dorm (sugar and caffeine make her extra hyper), you’ve definitely lucked out having Maya as your O-Week advisor and she can’t wait to welcome you to Rice!

You must be the luckiest person to get this scrumptious very biteable baby-looking most adorable smartest sweetest kindest funnest all the -est SLAYEST advisor ever!!! Aryana is a Psychology and Anthropology junior Hanszenite from Katy interning in the Wellbeing Center so if you EVER need to talk to someone she's an amazing option because this girl has all the best advice and compliments and encouragements in the bag. Actual best hypewoman ever (although if she gets a little feral when she’s too hype sometimes)!! When you're not seeing this girl study, she's probably playing Just Dance, stretching to play Just Dance, or asking a bunch of people around to play Just Dance with her. Aryana is a HUGEEE dessert foodie, so literally hit her up if you ever want to know which servery has the best dessert cause 11x out of 10 she'd already have that info!! But of course no dessert will ever match the sweetness this girl has for the people she loves. This ball of sunshine is incredibly thoughtful and will be there for you even if Niki, Grent Perez, or Yung Gravy is singing her name (jk she's not stupid). Unlike Ariana Grande, there is absolutely no reason for you to say Thank You, Next to Aryana being your advisor <3

Meet Guinivere, a Political Science and Sport Management major from Hong Kong that’s super down to earth (she’s 5’2). She walks at lightning speed and falls everywhere, yet refuses to use her wrist and ankle braces. The only thing protecting her feet are her little cute animal socks— of which she never has a matching pair. Guinivere has terrible spending habits: she once ordered a tiny blue foldable mattress thinking it was gonna be a couch, and the rest of her wallet is drained by coffee, food, and eggs (her friends that she travels to see). Speaking of food, Guinivere has a ridiculous collection of MomoFuku chili oils and never eats her meals without shredded pork and fried shallots. With her heart of gold, fiercely loyal nature, and a talent for making genuine connections, Guinivere is sure to be an incredible O-Week advisor, and you kiddos are lucky to have her.

Get HYPED because you’re about to meet your new advisor, Mr. Adam Nelson! Adam is a senior and Houston local. When he's not helping you navigate campus life, you might find him perfecting his golf swing or jamming out to indie tunes. Don't be intimidated by Adam's luscious mustache, signature chain, and profound interest in the impact of biopolymers on macrophage behavior (did I mention he’s a Biosciences major?)- he’s an excellent listener and more than happy to show you the ins and outs of your Sid experience. Plus, he's always happy to chat with you about everything from The Office to the best thrift spots in town. And if you need a workout buddy, Adam's your guy. He hits the gym religiously and might just motivate you to do the same. Most importantly, Adam is an excellent friend and person to talk to. He's here to help you make the most of your time at Rice, so don't hesitate to ask him for advice or just chat about life (ask him about his dog, Peanut). Get ready for an exciting O-Week with Adam as your guide- you already KNOW it’s gonna be a movie!
