Drew Bennett - Editor In Chief
Drew is convinced the money will trickle-down soon, but is hedging his bets at Fletcher anyway. He has been a musician without a band, a writer without a book, and a technologist without a technology, so he's grateful the Ledger made him an editor with a publication. An online publication. An online publication that relies on Microsoft FrontPage and a yearly budget of $900. He supposes that's neither here nor there...
Dasha Kosmynina - Managing Editor
Growing up in a Siberian gulag, Dasha daydreamed of becoming a runway model in
Paris. But a potato-intensive diet and harsh Soviet reality have ruled otherwise
as she chopped wood, mended socks, and pushed horse-sleds at the set of Rocky V.
She ultimately became a spy and moved to the U.S. and A. to agitate the
proletariat masses. Leading a life of treacherous deceit has put a shadow on her
misunderstood Russian soul, but ultimately, she really does want world peace and
that is why she is here at Fletcher.
Jen
Weedon ~ Photo Editor
Despite the angelic (or, alternatively, gnome-like) veneer, Jen is no paragon of virtue. It is oft commented that she is "so cute - until she opens her mouth." Hobbies include cat collecting, competitive eating, and self-derision. She has the uncanny ability to mimic ewoks (seriously) and her favorite movie is The Cutting Edge. She came to Fletcher with exceptionally average hopes to change the world and will likely leave with intellectual bulimia and epic amounts of debt.
Julia Stone ~ Arts and Entertainment Editor
Julia Stone is a long-time vegetarian who has a thing for wearing leather. She carries a big, Japanese knife in her dainty handbag at all times, and is delighted to show you how to use it. Although she trained as a chef in Berkeley, California, she is trying hard to embrace the local New England cuisine, and has developed a fondness for the sound that comes out of lobsters while they're being boiled.
Maia Seaden
~ Community Editor
Maia's previous journalistic experience is limited to the writing of limericks on bar napkins and to extended games of telephone at summer camp. Her rapid ascension to community editor at the Ledger leads her to believe that she can reasonably expect to receive her Pulitzer sometime in the next year and a half. Were she to ever have any spare time anymore, she might rediscover her love for poutine, power ballads, and extravagantly large earrings.
Adam Sewall ~ Role of Farce Editor
Raised by wolves in the woods of Maine, Adam Sewall has spent
much of
the past 10 years in captivity--mostly in libraries, cafes and various
institutional buildings. He's thrilled as pie to be studying at
Fletcher, and is equally thrilled to be working at the Ledger.
Mimi Lu ~ Viewpoints Editor
Mimi Lu was a literal arts major. She is a girl and she is
smart and
she can do math, or at least she is trying to. In the meantime she is
sticking to letters and words with which she is well acquainted.
