One Book Fellows

Vivian Bui

Hello! My name is Vivian Bui, and I'm a senior double majoring in American Studies and English Literature with a minor in Legal Studies. I've enjoyed competing on the Mock Trial team and participating in the Arch Scholars programs. Outside of school, I've volunteered for several non-profit organizations that focus on refugee empowerment. This past summer, I worked for an executive search firm in Chicago. This will be my third year on the One Book Team, and I'm excited to see what we accomplish this year!

Cathy Ndovu

Hi! My name is Cathy Ndovu, and I am a rising sophomore studying History and Computer Science. On campus, I am involved in the Associated Student Government, Black Mentorship Program, and BLAST dance group. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, reading, painting, and hiking around the Midwest! I am excited to hear people’s thoughts related to The Night Watchman and encourage dialogue about social and political issues facing Indigenous communities.

James Lee

Hello! I'm James, a second year majoring in Radio/Television/Film. On campus, I'm involved with organizations like Studio 22 and Vertigo Productions, and off-campus, I'm an affiliate member of the Chicago Indie Critics and a voting member of the Dorian Awards. You'll often find me writing and workshopping scripts, reviewing movies, and being on film sets over the weekends. I'm incredibly excited to help contribute to this year's One Book and the valuable perspectives it illuminates about the American diaspora!

At Northwestern, I’m the president of the Shepard Residential College, a production team member for Niteskool, and a customer service representative for Concerts@Bienen. Outside of school, I love watching movies, practicing piano and guitar, reading and writing, and producing for student film sets. I’m really excited to work with everyone on bringing the story of The Night Watchman to Northwestern and creating a fun space for us to nerd out about books!
