Jake Bridge
Managing Editor
Jake (Mathematics and English ’27) was once but a copy editor. He has now ascended to the position of managing editor, but still continues to regale The Athenian with really bad articles (in both verse and prose). Outside of The Athenian, he is a brother of Theta Chi Fraternity, researcher in poetics, board/card game enjoyer, and consumer of bad music. He is often found with his shoddy wooden saw, stick with two prongs on the end (à la a backscratcher), and two vaguely semispherical objects.
Fiona Arado
co-Business Manager
Fiona Arado is a 3rd year majoring in Economics, Anthropology, and (tentatively) Business Management. She is 1/2 of the Business Manager duo and is very passionate about managing business. Obviously. She can be found crocheting, agonizing over her fantasy football leagues, or ruining the lives of sims. She also really likes aquatic mammals (except dolphins because dolphins are evil).
MG Davis
co-Business Manager
MG (4th year, physics major) is excited to spend their last semester at CWRU as a co-Business Manager and copy editor. He’s been a contributor to The Athenian since fall 2023 and doesn’t regret any of his articles. When not writing, they can be found eating leftover chalk in Rockefeller.
Nealey Barak
Head of Design
Nealey Barak (3rd year Biology and Psychology major) is the head of design for the Athenian. She joined for the free rubber ducks and somehow ended up in an exec role, but she is trying to learn Adobe Indesign to make up for it. Outside of The Athenian, she has a radio show on WRUW, volunteers at the Cleveland apl, and can often be found avoiding homework to watch dancing with the stars.
Arya Srivastava
Head of DistrIBution/Copy Editor
Arya Srivastava is a second year who started off as a contributor and somehow managed to get golf cart keys. (They’re not sure who approved that decision, but are grateful nevertheless). Outside of The Athenian, Arya is also involved in CWRU Crew and Film Society, so if you see someone crying over schoolwork in the dusty corners of Strosacker on a Friday night, that’s probably them!
Kai Tibbitts
Social Media Manager
Kai Tibbitts (Sophomore, major undisclosed) is the Social Media Manager and lowkey just a chill guy (6’2 btw). Avid reader of feminist literature. Likes long walks on the beach, looking for a life partner (6’4 btw). Really cool and awesome at managing social media and being a psych and cognitive scientist major (6’7 btw)
David Kaplan
Webmaster/ARCHIVIST/Copy Editor
David Kaplan (sophomore-on-standby, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering major, Electrical Engineering and Human Suffering minor) is The Athenian’s Webmaster and Archivist for the second year in a row (because nobody else wanted the job). He also Copy Edits and is now fundamentally incapable of reading any document without immediately seeing all comma errors (please help me). He can often be found in the basement of the buildings of local manufacturing companies, retrieving components to assemble The Device.
Nat Qiu
Design Team
Natalie “Nat for short” Qiu (4th year, CS major + studio art minor) was once a Business Manager for the Athenian, but after they were discovered skimming bagels from the ledger, they were sentenced to 300 years of graphic design. They will be in touch once their sentence is up.
