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 about EUA events, email one of the officers to be added to the EUA listserv, and check out our Facebook Page. Join us!
