Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m a member of the class of 2025 concentrating in Political Science and Economics. I’m most recently from Indiana, but I’ve moved a bunch! At Brown, I’m President of the Brown Political Union (a multi-partisan forum hosting debates and speakers), am part of Every Vote Counts (a nonpartisan organization focused on increasing voter registration and turnout), sail on the Club Sailing Team, play trombone in the Brown Wind Symphony, and am a Bruno Orientation Leader. I really love the Open Curriculum and would love to chat about that or anything else you are interested in!

Amber Wang

Hi! My name is Amber Wang and I’m a member of the class of 2026 from Princeton, New Jersey. At Brown, I am double concentrating in Chemical-Biology and Nonfiction English. When I’m not hunched over a desk trying to decipher chemical structures or Shakespeare, I conduct research on CAR T-cell cancer therapy, run a family for Brown’s Chinese Student Association, work as an EMT for both Warren RI and Brown's ambulance services (BEMS), itinerantly blog with friends, serve as a New Student Orientation Leader, and occasionally sleep. I like cozy coffee shops, classical music, and going to the gym, though usually not all at once. If any of that sounds interesting, feel free to reach out!

Autumn Wong

My name is Autumn Wong (she/her), and I'm a senior Contemplative Studies concentrator on the pre-medical track from Jupiter, Florida. I want to be an astronaut or OBGYN (I always say space, babies, or space babies!) I love research! I’m passionate about maternal health and aerospace medicine, which I've explored through my work as a certified birth doula and the NASA Rhode Island Space Grant on Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for long-term space travel. I have also done projects on dance therapy and the effects of intermittent fasting for longevity. I plan on taking a gap year between Brown and medical school and continuing my Public Health research in Kigali, Rwanda as well! On campus, I am a second-year Community Coordinator for a First-Year residential hall. I love to meditate with the Brown Meditation Community on the greens across campus (you’ll probably see me napping on the greens, playing volleyball, or meditating).
