You’re in need of a Prat in your life. This beautiful specimen—a Biosciences major and Philosophy minor hailing from Plano, Texas in the Class of 2025—is a man of intensity. Spicy food? He'll tank the heat, laugh it off, and ask for something hotter. Cancer Bio exam? He's already on the late night grind at Fondren. Unfortunately, he's also obsessed with the Dallas Cowboys, even though they haven't been good in decades. You can find him missing layups in intramural basketball, directing the Basmati Beats a cappella team, or "studying" (talking to people) around campus. Known for his remarkable ability to overshare and never get embarrassed, he’s the best person to share your worries with. He'll make you feel better by telling you some mortifying story of his own; he has a lot to choose from. Be prepared for this angelic singer, absolute life of the party, and incredible friend.

Veni, vidi, vici. She came, she saw, she… what was that? You pronounced veni with a “v”? Rest assured, Seojin Kwon will correct you: “it’s pronounced weni.” Just kidding, Seojin (or Evelyn to Chaus and Jinny to her student ID) isn’t actually so silly. This pre-med, Neuroscience major from Sid Rich and Bloomington, Indiana will be the sweetest junior you meet, and she is excited to be your guide to Rice. Lose your room keys? Fear not! Seojin is on a first name basis with the RUPD officers after locking herself out of her room one too many times. Tired of studying? Seojin is always down for a Chaus run if that’s what you need, or long chats at any hour of the night (and we mean any hour…). She might keep her room at absurdly cold temperatures but she has the warmest heart, and you are lucky to have such an advisor :)

This August, a hot new bombshell returns to Sid Richardson College O-Week! Guinivere Yeung, standing at a MIGHTY 5’2”, has traveled all the way from Hong Kong to come shower you all with her slayful energy! This Political Science and Sports Management double major pulls off the lob (longer-bob) like no one else, as well as an impressive streak of NYT Minis and WAPOs. She is always speedily shuffling around campus with at least 2 bevs in her hand (NEVER water; her Owala is a facade) and she loves saying she’s in her “grandma era” so much that she can barely use technology— be prepared to get over 20 notifications that her AirPods were found moving with you. Not only is she one of the most loyal and kind people you will ever meet, she will also always be down to share and celebrate your special moments. New Students - never fret with Guinivere as your Advisor!

Meet Euless’s favorite state-champion gymnast, Jihra Hill! Standing at a strapping 5’1”, this vivacious sophomore at Wiess is not just your average student, she's a force to be reckoned with. Majoring in Biosciences, Jihra doesn't just study biology; she practically breathes it. Armed with her trusty calculator and an endless stash of Celsius drinks, she's poised to conquer the world, one caffeine boost at a time. When she’s not buried in books at O’Connor, you'll likely spot her unwinding with friends or returning from a Raising Cane’s study break. But Jihra's interests extend far beyond academia and athletics. A fervent sports enthusiast, she's equally passionate about celebrating a Texans victory or rallying for the Rice Basketball team courtside. And while she's all about that winning spirit, she's also a certified Lover Girl #Drake and a top-tier Renaissance Woman #Beyoncéfan. With an extensive knowledge of movies and video essays, Jihra's the go-to person for the best flicks and setting up a movie room watch party. Despite being a STEM enthusiast, Jihra's artistic flair shines through, with a keen eye for design. If you're lucky, she might even give you a sneak peek into her RoCitizens world or her Beyoncé Theme Park Tycoon on Roblox. Need a laugh, a food study break, or an adventure fueled by caffeine? Look no further than Jihra. Just brace yourself for her infectious energy and her knack for turning any moment into a side-splitting anecdote. Trust me, you won't regret it.
