Richard George
Class of 2027
Major: Ethics, Politics, & Economics and Philosophy
College: Grace Hopper
Hometown: Monroe, New Jersey
Activities: The Yale Undergraduate Consulting Group, Contributing Writer at the Yale Daily News, and chronic matcha latte drinker
About:
Seltzer supporter. Food fanatic. Literary genius. Beyoncé stan. These are the many characteristics of the illustrious Richard George: a man of will blessed with two first names. He often finds himself staring off thinking about the nature of humanity, while firmly on the ground, i.e., his suite's couch. He often finds himself dancing to memorizing lyrics by Onika Tanya Maraj, or better known, Nicki Minaj. He often finds himself watching too much Netflix at the dead of night. There's more to this man of mystery: a world that can't be contained in an "About You" statement...

Luke is a man of many interests. He likes Lorde, football, Mock Trial, Melodrama by Lorde, like 5 TV shows, basketball, Pure Heroine by Lorde, Xtra Cheddar Goldfish, Solar Power by Lorde, Kendrick Lamar, that weather when you can wear literally whatever you want and you'll feel like you made the right choice, nostalgia but like not the sad kind of nostalgia like the sitting around with friends and reminiscing knowing that what you have now is different but not necessarily worse kind of nostalgia, stuff like that. Oh, and how could he forget. He likes Lorde too.

Kaylee Pierre
Class of 2027
Major: History of Science and Medicine & Public Health
College: Benjamin Franklin College
Hometown: Queens, New York
Activities: Yale Moot Court, Yale Tour Guide, & Yale Menus Aficionado
About:
Kaylee spends most of her day listening to herself talk, as her activities suggest. However, she insists that her mood is a delicate balance of several factors that have nothing to do with her own voice. For instance, it depends on what Yale dining is offering for dinner, whether vegetable samosas will be on the menu, if samosas that are veggie-based will be available at dinner, and whether crispy, veggie-stuffed triangles will bless her plate. Beyond that, her mood is up in the air.

Kyra Spahn
Class of 2027
Major: Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
College: Silliman
Hometown: New York, NY
Activities: YSM, YES, Club Squash
About:
Kyra is an aspiring woman in STEM. She is currently working toward that goal by conducting rigorous and cutting-edge research on the following topics: 1) How long she can go without cleaning the one microwavable bowl she brought to college before it becomes hazardous to her health, 2) The number of alarms she can sleep through without incurring the wrath of her roommate and/or members of the YMTA, and 3) Where to find the best bagels in New Haven (conclusion: nowhere). Kyra loves sweater weather, whoever invented overnight oats, and reminding Everett that he is no longer the only YMTA member who has been competing since leaving the womb. She hates slow walkers, standing jeans, and thinking of things to put in her bio.
