I did not get involved with the Student Association to play the role of a politician. I have no interest in becoming a politician outside of Rice. To be perfectly frank, I have very little interest in politics altogether.
I first want to once again welcome the Class of 2017 (and any exchange or transfer students) to Rice University. For all returning students: Can you believe how fast the summer flew by? I feel like just yesterday I was packing up my boxes to leave campus - yet somehow Orientation Week has already ended and classes are kicking off. I'm excited for this year for many reasons, especially because this year is so important in taking the first steps to truly mold and shape Rice's second century. The Centennial has officially passed, and we need to step up as a community and take charge of our student vision for these next 100 years.
