If you haven’t seen me around as much this semester, it’s because I’m in the Loop! I am tackling two internships: one at The University of Chicago Press and another at Open Books, both of which help me serve as a better Editor-in-Chief. I come back to campus on some weekends to do work for The Stentor, so feel free to reach out if you’re interested in writing or if you just want to make a new connection with me or any staff members of The Stentor. We are happy to continue to inform the student body about what happens at our College, and we thank you for supporting us.
