Iris Chiu

Have you met anyone that knows you can pick up broken glass with bread if you do not have a broom lying around at 3 a.m. in the morning? Only Iris Chiu knows this. After a bizarre night of using Hawaiian rolls to help her roommate pick up shattered glass around the room, Iris realized that the skills she learned in theater tech were valuable, since Mr. Valdez was the one who taught her this unique lesson. Besides learning captivating lessons, Iris enjoyed theater tech the most because she made her closest friends there, who had similar interests. She has also transformed Webb through her leadership on the honor council and participation in her favorite classes: Honors Studio Art and Advanced Studies Creative Nonfiction. Besides being expressive, Iris is friendly and will go out of her way to get to know you personally, an aspect of the Webb community that she will miss the most. Next year, although Iris will hopefully not be using bread to pick up shards early in the morning, she will utilize the lessons she learned at Webb at Carnegie Mellon University, where she will be studying Technical Theater Design and Production.
