Hey y’all! I’m Nick Lee (he/him), and I’m honored and stoked to be your junior president! I’m from Rancho Cucamonga, California (SoCal born and raised) and I’m concentrating in Educational Studies and International and Public Affairs with the intention of pursuing law school.
I love being active - going to the water, playing sports, and embracing the outdoors - but I also enjoy writing spoken word poetry and chilling with friends. I also lead educational equity work throughout Rhode Island as the Co-President of Students for Educational Equity. I look forward to making our time at Brown both memorable and connective! Feel free to reach out with suggestions, questions, or anything you need… peace and love!

I’m a huge foodie - I love sushi, proper K-BBQ, and any Thai dishes! I love going on long and spontaneous walks, binge-watching rom-coms on Netflix, reading a good mystery book, and playing volleyball.

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Catherine Jia and I’m excited to be a part of your senior year at Brown. I’m originally from Manlius, New York (the true Upstate New York), and concentrate in APMA-Econ and Health & Human Biology.
My favorite food is sushi, hot pot, and oysters (which I learned to shuck this summer). I love to dance K-Pop and ballet, make matcha, cook nostalgic Asian dishes, bake banana bread with my rotting dorm bananas, binge-watching Squid Games and TSITP, and playing pickleball! I’m looking forward to providing you a year of nostalgia, free food, sentimental time with friends, and good music. See you around campus and don’t be a stranger!
On campus, you can catch me at DAEBAK K-Pop workshops, hosting Chinese Student Association parties, and TAing for ENGN 90, 900, and Biology!
