English • Sid Richardson College • 3rd year at Rice

Hey everyone! My name is Katie Peña and I’m a Senior student at Rice university majoring in English. I transferred from Lone Star College- Kingwood with my Honors Associates of Arts degree; while there, I saw firsthand the talent and dedication of community college students in the humanities and social sciences. With a mentorship-forward approach, I hope to provide a lens on these programs at Rice—though small, very strong! I look forward to sharing my experiences, building connections, and helping you navigate your own path to a competitive university!
