Mia Wang

Mia Wang exudes goofiness. With her friends, she cannot even walk straight when doubled over in laughter. Her silliness even landed her a CBO her sophomore year, but since becoming a Jones dorm prefect this year, she has learned to laugh at her mistakes. Mia loves her job as a prefect because she loves Jones; it was her home for two years, and it became a central aspect of her time at Webb. Some of her favorite memories come from Jones, specifically the times that she hung out with friends in someone’s room until 3 a.m. Although Mia enjoys messing around, she can be serious, especially about her academics. One of the classes she enjoyed the most was Honors Economic Thought in the Modern Age with Dr. Riel, one of her favorite teachers. “I love Dr. Riel, he’s so weird. He always has a coffee mug except he holds it wrong,” says Mia. Looking back, if Mia could tell her freshman self one thing, it would be to not procrastinate, which she still does, and enjoy the time with her friends at Webb. Mia will be attending Occidental College next year, majoring in Cognitive Science before attending medical school.
