Welcome back to the Leading Owls podcast, where we highlight the incredible student leaders at Rice University who are shaping our campus and communities.
Today, we’re thrilled to have America joining us—a true powerhouse of leadership and service at Rice. America wears many hats: she’s the Owl Access Student Director, helping to ensure access for all students, as the Beer Bike Campus Coordinator, she’s involved in one of Rice’s most beloved traditions. She’s also the Co-President of the Teacher Club, which supports future educators.
In this episode, we’ll dive into what drives America to stay so involved, her favorite moments as a leader on campus, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Whether you’re a student leader yourself or simply looking for inspiration, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
The Leading Owls Podcast is hosted and produced by the Doerr Institute for New Leaders.
