Adeline Wong '10
Subjects: Chemistry, Math, & Physics
Major: Math
Hello! My name's Adeline, and I'm a senior majoring in math, probably with a minor in computer science. I like wild mushrooms, new ideas and perspectives, receiving things in the mail, math, and my trusty stuffed turtle Turby, among other things. Occasionally, you may see me unicycling to class or around campus. I'm rather quiet by nature and am very much interested in learning about (pretty much) everything and how they connect.

Major: Biology
Hi! I'm from Norman, Oklahoma, though I've also lived in four other states (not including California). I like taking random walks around campus when I get the chance, as well as playing music and frisbee with friends. Otherwise, I enjoy reading xkcd and drinking bubble tea sans bubbles.

Howdy! I am a junior from Houston, Texas, and I was lucky enough to land the position of Resident Tutor at Rinconada this academic year (2009-2010).

To that end, I am a Director of the Blyth Fund and am currently serving as one of the Fund's Co-Presidents.
