Talk to me about: Alternative Spring Break (ASB), Leadership Rice Mentorship Experience (LRME), American Reads, CCL Capstone, CCL Courses

Major: Social Policy Analysis, Linguistics

Minor: Environmental Studies, Civic Leadership Certificate

Hi y’all! My name is Emily, and I’m a junior at Brown majoring in SOPA and Linguistics with a minor in Environmental Studies. I’m originally from Bethesda, Maryland (about 15 minutes from Washington, DC), but my involvement with the CCL has played a major role in helping me to get involved in the Houston community.

My first involvement with the CCL came during my freshman year as an ASB participant focusing on the intersection of environmental justice and health. I later became a site leader for ASB working to address mental health equity for the LGBTQ+ community. These experiences allowed me to explore issues I cared about at a deeper level and meet passionate students and community partners. Other than ASB, I have tutored literacy at a local elementary school through America Reads and interned at a policy-focused non-profit through LRME. I also took the class LEAD 260: Advocating for Ideas to Change the World in my sophomore year, where I fell in love with policy and advocacy work and developed a strong interest in housing policy. I’m doing the Civic Leadership capstone project this year, and I hope to build on that interest in housing through my project.

Outside of the CCL, I love exploring Houston and finding cool coffee shops, listening to music, playing card games, spending time outdoors, and trying new things. Working with the CCL in various capacities has shaped my Rice experience for the better, and I would love to help people find programs that might be a good fit for them. Please reach out to me at eml12@rice.edu if you have any questions or just want to talk.
