Founded in 2016, the English Undergraduate Association (EUA) seeks to connect English and Creative Writing majors and potential majors across Rice's residential colleges. The EUA hosts social and professional events to encourage bonding between members of the English major and to provide them with resources for their various postgraduate goals. Previous events the EUA has hosted include study breaks, alumni panels, graduate school panels, and book drives. To stay notified of EUA events, email one of the officers below asking to be added to the EUA listserv, and check out our Facebook Page. Join us!
Who We Are
Angela An is a senior at Hanszen College, majoring in English with a concentration in Culture and Social Change. In her free time, she loves to do yoga, pilates, play bananagrams, and spend time with her friends. Her favorite book of the summer was Y/N by Esther Yi. She can be contacted through email, aja16@rice.edu.
Caitlyn Ladd (she/her/hers) is the co-president for the 2025-2026 EUA. She is a junior at Wiess majoring in English as well as pursuing a minor in Creative Writing. Her favorite genres are romance and fantasy, but doesn’t want to make the other genres feel left out so she says she likes them all. If not in her room, she can be found reading webtoons, scrapbooking, or playing Roblox. She cannot wait for a brand new year of meeting new English undergraduates and yapping about books! She can be reached at cel15@rice.edu.
Lana Nguyen is a junior at Wiess studying English and Asian Studies with a minor in Education. She likes journaling, crocheting, drinking matcha, (in the most non-performative way possible) and chatting with her friends. She loves meeting fellow English majors and English enthusiasts! Feel free to reach out to her at ln21@rice.edu. She loves looking at emails.
Jessica Mack (she/her) is a senior at Martel studying English and Art. Outside of class, she can often be found procrastinating by reading outside of Brochstein or fighting through the NYT crossword at Chaus. Jessica is exceedingly excited to be EUA's Creative Director for 2025-2026! She can be reached at jsm20@rice.edu.
Chelsea Burnett (she/her/hers) is a junior at McMurtry majoring in English, and she is the secretary for the 2025-2026 EUA. She enjoys reading the same books repeatedly, but that doesn’t stop her from putting an excessive number of books on hold at the library. Chelsea is always glad to connect, so feel free to reach out and chat! She can be reached at ckb6@rice.edu.
Hey, y'all! My name is Isabella and I’m a senior at Hanszen studying English and Anthropology in the Pre-Law track! I’m so excited to be the EUA treasurer this year. You can find me on campus doing improv with Spoco, DJing for KTRU, or chugging an iced coffee!
Hongtao Hu (he/him) is a junior at Will Rice College. He is majoring in English and Operations Research. His literary interests are sex-negative feminism and desiring-production; his favorite authors are Faulkner and Plath. If you’re vexed by Magic: The Gathering’s rule system or how Derrida relates to Brat Summer, he can be reached in person in the Thresher office or at jh215@rice.edu.
