Chief Justice

Nathaniel Ascher


Hi, my name is Nathaniel Ascher and I am the current Chief Justice (CJ) of Martel College! I am a sophomore planning on majoring in Mathematics and minoring in Statistics and PLST (Politics, Law, and Social Thought). I was born and raised in NYC andNathaniel Ascher for middle and high school I lived in Scarsdale, NY (NY has the best food in the world – end of discussion). At Rice, when I am not at the best residential college (Martel – duh!), you can find me in Fondy studying or at Reckling Park doing analytics for the Rice baseball team. Go Owls!

As CJ, I lead Martel’s college court along with the associate justices and new student justice, adhering to Martel’s Constitution and Bylaws. I also oversee security at Martel’s two public parties, communicate with RUPD (Rice University Police Department) and REMS (Rice Emergency Medical Services) when necessary, uphold the alcohol policy and Rice’s judicial policies, and am a liaison for SJP (Student Judicial Practices).

I look forward to seeing you around Martel. Please introduce yourself if we haven’t met yet!
