Doris Yuan

Matriarchal, artsy, and enthusiastic are just a few of the traits that make up Doris Yuan’s complex character. Although matriarch seems like a weird word to call a 19-year-old girl, it fits Doris perfectly since she is known as the “Grandma” of Jones dorm — where she spent most of her time. This co-chair of the VWS Prefect Council cherishes her time playing with Sol and Ero, screaming the words to her favorite songs at the top of her lungs with friends, and even sorting through the trash since Doris’ main goal was to make Jones feel like home. To non-Jones residents, Doris might be the artsy girl who painted the turtles in front of Taylor Lab or the face behind her iconic catchphrase, “Oh, really?”; for those who were fortunate enough to know Doris, like Mr. Jurczak, who taught her for three years, she is funny and sarcastic. Having her artwork showcased around campus is only one of Doris’s proudest achievements that she accomplished while at Webb. Next year, she will continue challenging herself at Cornell University, where she will surely expand her collection of personality traits.
