An Aspiring Journalist's Multidisciplinary Journey

Three Majors, One Goal

“I started as pre-law because I cared about the issues that are facing society. I don’t want to just have information. I want to do something about it.”

Meet Basma Bedawi ‘25 (@basmabedawi) - a Rice senior juggling three majors: social policy analysis, sociology, and English with a creative writing focus. And when she’s not hitting the books? Well, she’s DJing at KTRU Radio, wordsmithing for @ricethresher, or co-editing The Wild Grain, the English departments online magazine.

In the latest issue of Rice Magazine, she opens up about interning for @vulture as part of her Moody Research Fellowship, diving headfirst into journalism, and the song she currently has on repeat.
