Two weeks ago, The Stute held its E-board elections, where I was nominated for a second term as Editor-in-Chief. I’m super excited about this opportunity to learn from my last term and move forward with new goals. I would also like to thank the previous E-board for your hard work and congrats to those of you graduating. One big change between the two terms is the (mostly) new members of the E-board I will be working with. I already know this is going to be a great year, and I would like to welcome and introduce our 2024-25 E-board!
Tanya, the Business Manager: This is Tanya’s second year at Stevens and also her second year with The Stute. Tanya is the only other member of the previous E-board to run and be reelected for the same position. She did an amazing job in her first term, securing our new printer and managing our finances with ease, and I’m excited for her to keep up the great work!
Arthur, the Managing Editor: Before being elected, Arthur has been a consistent staff writer and opinion columnist since starting at Stevens in the fall. He has demonstrated his passion for national news as well as his commitment to the Stevens community. He has shown great work ethic so far in this position, and I’m looking forward to seeing him grow as a leader!
Jiya, the Layout Editor: Jiya was one of 14 incoming first-year students who attended our Stute Weekend summer program this past year. While almost immediately being turned off by the prospect of writing, she found her passion in layout (a familiar feeling). She has served as one of the assistant layout editors since October and has always brought a great energy to our office production meetings, and I know she will continue to as layout editor!
Abby, the Digital Manager: Abby also attended Stute Weekend and has been very eager to learn all about the organization. While promoting The Stute like it’s her full-time job, she has also served as a sports writer and head photographer. After quickly learning our digital process, I know her eye for detail will lead to amazing work on our website and social media!
Ava, the Outreach Chair: Ava started with The Stute a little over a year ago and has served as Managing Editor for the past year. In that role, she showed her dedication and leadership skills, as well as her passion for journalism and The Stute. Not only does she have the skills to represent The Stute as the outreach chair, but she is the perfect embodiment of our values and I know she will do a great job in her new role!
Nicole, the Secretary: This is Nicole’s third year with The Stute and fourth official position. From staff writer to assistant layout editor and head layout editor to secretary, Nicole has always been super enthusiastic and I know she will take all of that great energy to put towards her new role as secretary!
Evan, the Head Copy Editor: Evan has always given his all to The Stute, contributing to (I’m pretty sure) every issue of The Stute since he started at Stevens last year. He has consistently maxed out the amount of articles he can write and previously served as the opinion section editor. He loves to propose new ideas and I look forward to how he will refine the copy editing process!
Congrats to the new E-Board! I am very excited to work with this new group, and I can’t wait to see the positive impact we make together.
