Contact a Current Student

Below are the names of some Plan II student recruiters who are available to answer any questions you may have about life in Plan II, and other “insider information” you seek. These current students will be happy to share their personal impressions of Plan II, their decision process when they chose Plan II over other schools, their classroom and dorm experiences, their “extra-curricular” experiences, etc.

For instructions on how to apply to Plan II, please browse through our Admission pages, which direct you to official application information.

Feel free to ask them questions you may have about the Program, your decision to attend Plan II Honors, if they combine Plan II with another major or degree, or any other concerns you might anticipate as a applicant.  Each student's double-major and/or dual-degree information (including pre-med and pre-law) is noted.  If you do not see another major you are interested in pairing Plan II Honors with, please contact Plan II Admissions.  We will try to put you in contact with a current student.

Please note:  These volunteers are available to share their personal experiences as Plan II Honors majors at the University of Texas at Austin.  They cannot assist future students in the application process or with any kind of registration advising.  We want to be very sure every Plan II student gets solid information from our trained, professional admissions and advising staff.

    Noelle Hannan Plan II/philosophy major pursuing a BDP certificate in Museum Studies (and possibly an anthropology minor) noellehannan.utexas.edu Academically, I am very interested in the intersections between philosophy, anthropology, and music history (especially proto-punk and punk movements during the 70's and 80's). I am also recently getting interested in manuscript curation and archival work after helping out with a project at the Harry Ransom Center—an opportunity made possible through my Plan II World Lit professor! I'm also involved in the Broccoli Project, a student-run avant-garde guerilla-style theatre troupe; I've acted in two shows and have now written a show of my own called To Be a Stranger that I hope to eventually direct. Plan II has allowed me to explore how I can combine my creative passions (music, writing, theatre) with my academic interests (philosophy, literature, history) into fulfilling research and writing, which serves as an incredible foundation for graduate school and beyond. If you have any questions about anything to do with Plan II, Broccoli Project, or anything UT, feel free to email me any time, I would absolutely love to talk!!                 

    Tisha Chaudhuri, Plan II and Economics with a minor in Business; tanisha@utexas.edu  Hello! I'm a junior Plan II and economics student with a passion for research, policy, and business. I am currently the President of the Global Macro Team, UT's premier student-run think tank. Additionally, I work for the Annette Strauss Institute, write for The Daily Texan, have conducted research through the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program, and interned at the Library of Congress! Plan II has truly made me capable of achieving anything I set my mind to. In my free time, I enjoy baking cookies, reading romance novels, and watching Turkish shows. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to get involved on campus!

     

    Thierry Chu, Plan II and English (thierrychu@my.utexas.edu) Hey y’all!! I am a freshman Plan II and English major on a premedical track deciding on either a Spanish minor, Spanish certificate, or Spanish BDP program. I am in the P2 pre-med society and working my way through getting involved in a spirit org, campus ministry, campus magazine publication, and study abroad experience. I haven’t been here long, but I look forward to getting very involved in the Austin community through volunteering and internships. In my free time, I love to read, hang out with friends, listen to music, work out, and go on adventures. I am super willing to answer any questions about P2, pre-med, what it’s like as a freshman, or anything else! I love making friends and know exactly what you guys are experiencing (because it was literally just months ago), so please reach out!

    Jenelle Medina, Plan II and Psychology BA with a minor in Sociology jenellemedina@utexas.edu  I am a first-generation college student from Brownsville, Texas. Potential Plan II Valley students please don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions regarding life at UT, imposter syndrome, or anything you may have in mind. If you’re a first-generation student as well, then you know that seeking guidance from your family members isn’t of much help when it comes to questions about college. I can be that person for you! I am currently a part of TSPA (Texas Student Psychological Association) and just recently joined Dollar for Texas, which is an organization that raises money to eliminate medical debt. If you have any questions about student organizations, jobs on campus, apartment hunting, etc., feel free to email me.

As the year begins, I am looking for more ways to get involved on campus. I enjoy working out, long walks around Ladybird lake, coloring at the Plan II office, getting lunch with my favorite professors, and UT FOOTBALL! I love people reaching out to me to review their papers or resumes because I get to learn so much about them. If you have any questions about juggling clubs, sorority or fraternity life, Plan II, and another major, please reach out

    Judge Baskin Plan II and Journalism judgejbaskin@gmail.com
    Hi there! My name is Judge and I am a second year student pursuing Plan II, Journalism, additional minors in History and French, and a Bridging Disciplines certificate in Ethics and Leadership in Law, Policy, and Government. I aspire to be an environmental lawyer and, eventually, a policymaker to shape our planet and political will in a way that will benefit future generations. Though I have my eyes set on law school, I am taking and savoring my time in Plan II and Moody as they are truly special programs. On campus, I work as a desk attendant at the Joynes Reading room, clerk for the Student Government Supreme Court, and volunteer at the UT Microfarm. Outside of school, I am a research intern at a non-profit called We Defend Truth, an avid Formula One fan, and a (very) amature op/ed writer. My other interests are running, cooking, guitar, and sewing. Ask me anything! I am happy to be a resource for you!
