Each year a new editor or duo of co-editors takes the helm of our beloved student newspaper, keeping The Penguin fresh, relevant, and ever-evolving, just like our student body! This year our penguin co-editors are Brittany Bryant & Caroline Jesalva!
Along with the opportunity to shape the look of the publication, editors are paid for a total of twenty hours per month. They are responsible for creating themes and recruiting contributors for eight issues during the academic year.
Applications for the editor or co-editor position include a resume, cover letter, writing sample, and letter of recommendation for the 2022-2023 year, open sometime around mid-April each year.
