Commmittees are the lifeblood of Martel. We’ve got a number of Committees (”Constitutional Committees,” officially), that take care of a lot of behind-the-scenes work for many of the events you’ll go to, in addition to maintaining and improving our facilities and just generally making Martel awesomer.
Associates
Stephanie Hernandez & Johanna Horn
The Associates Committee here at Martel is devoted to creating and developing relationships between current Martelians and non-Martelian adults. These non-Martelians come in three flavors: Rice staff members, Rice faculty, and community associates. These three flavors also include Martel alumni in each category. These associates are a resource, socially, academically, personally, spiritually, and every other “-ally” that you can imagine. They come to lunches often, and they love to talk to undergrads, so don’t be afraid to talk to them; that’s what they’re there for!
Historian/Photographer
Justyna Brewczyk, Amelia Min-Venditti & Katie Ortbahn
According to Wikipedia, a historian is an “individual who studies and writes about history, and is regarded as an authorityon it.” And because Wikipedia defines it as such, it is the duty of the Martel Historian to document, understand, and become an authority on the events at Martel. This includes, but is not limited to: collecting photographs, recording themes of College Nights, Beer Bike, Associates’ Night, etc., election results, and collecting and maintaining a history of Parliament. So important, right?
Theatre
Fahad Punjwani & George Romar
Since its inception, the Martel College Theatre Committee has sponsored quality theatrical productions and other events for the enjoyment of the residents of Martel College, Rice University, and members of the wider community. The productions vary widely in genre, and are known for attracting the creative abilities of students from all colleges – except Jones, of course.
The Theatre Committee warmly invites you to partake of this enriching tradition, and experience Martel theatre for yourself.
