Lilla Pivnick is a senior Psychology major at Jones College and has been a Jones College Peer Academic Advisor since Spring 2010. Lilla chose to apply for the position of Student Director of Peer Academic Advising because of her desire to work behind the scenes during New Student Orientation and to reach out to all Rice students, not just students in her residential college. Her favorite aspect of being a PAA is working with students who are undecided in majors and encouraging students to explore courses in areas like Leadership Rice, Freshman Seminars, and interdisciplinary majors. Lilla enjoys using her experience as a 4th year Rice student to guide underclassmen towards achieving their potentials.
In addition to her work with the Office of Academic Advising, Lilla is also the Head Academic Fellow at Jones College, a Rice University Tour Guide, and a Rice University Senior Interviewer. Lilla hopes to pursue a career in educational psychology upon graduation.
