Jones O-Week Coordinators
When you first meet Josh, his humongous puppy dog eyes and beaming smile might make you think that he's just about the nicest person on this green planet. Don't let that fool you. Josh Perez is not just about the nicest person, he is THE nicest person (and he gives great hugs). This San Antonian psychology major is a gift to Jones, and we still haven't figured out a number large enough to quantify his monetary worth. In just his freshman year he's held more positions here at Jones than he can count, and that's not even counting his roles around campus, or his positions on the court as presumptive Jones intramural basketball all-star. Even though he's not your Advisor, feel free to treat Josh as anything you need - a teacher, a resource, or just a friend in your time of need!

Have you ever desperately wondered whether you should choose looks or brains? Worry not – your misery ends now! Senior Evan Toler has it all. There’s no doubt Evan is a nerd. But he is also your 2016 Homecoming King and indisputably the most meme-able person on campus. He is a Computational and Applied Math (CAAM) & Statistics double major, so you know you can trust him with your digits. Not convinced yet? Bear with me. Evan likes to show his love by attacking you with ice cold sass and working behind the scenes to ensure that the most winningest college (aka Jones) is running in proper order. As former treasurer, room draw coordinator, current CAAM teaching assistant and Peer Academic Advisor, clearly his involvements extend beyond the hedges. Long story short, Evan is the most beautiful soul you will ever come across and no human being could ever doubt his ability to transform O-Week into an incredible and unforgettable experience for all new members of the Jones family.

If you are reading this, Dorian likes you, and you'll definitely learn to like Dorian, once you can get past his obnoxious dad shoes. A day in the life of this electrical engineer is more fun than smiling, more exciting than the Epic of Gilgamesh, more intense than Queen's Greatest Hits at 1.5x speed, more unexpected than a waterskiing goat, and more eventful than my Facebook feed. A self-proclaimed Nice Jewish Guy™, Dorian's interests include theater, talking about Philadelphia, theatre, going on adventures, theatre, making others people's lives better in every way, and the performance arts (a.k.a theatre). He's so good at acting, we're not even sure what his actual personality is. No seriosuly, consider yourself lucky to have Dorian, the best Coordinator Rice has to offer, and doubly lucky to have Dorian's beard, the second best Coordinator Rice has to offer!
