I am a senior psychology and sociology major, and I am the editor of the sports and culture section for the Star this year. I am passionate about journalism, and I am proud that it is thriving on Houghton’s campus. My favorite part of my section is the Things To Do column; I enjoy getting students excited about the local area and what it has to offer. I hope to bring the campus a vibrant arts and sports section that reflects students’ interests and passions. Let me know if you have any ideas or comments!
