Q: Favorite Memory?
A: My favorite memory was the first article I had ever written for The Grizzly. It was published on October 3, 2022, and was titled “A Bear Worth Knowing: Laura Cunningham.” It was my Sophomore year, and I was the Opinions Editor at the time. I was petrified of writing an article because I thought that there was no way that my writing would be good enough to be published and I thought surely I would be embarrassed. I finally worked up the courage to write this article, and Doron left a comment on the article that said: “this is REALLY well done. Kate has been holding out on us.” I honestly think that I can pinpoint this moment, that comment, as one of the reasons that I have gained so much confidence in myself, as both a journalist and as a person willing to take risks.”

Q: How did you get started?
A: The EIC last year recruited me to write an article for The Grizzly in the spring and I completely fell in love with writing for The Grizzly and wanted to continue doing so!
-Renee Washart ‘26 News Editor
A: I was going into my junior year and wanted to be more involved in college and I emailed Doron asking if they needed anyone to take photos and after a quick interview, I was the Photo Editor.
