“He’s Evan”

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

Head of DistrIBution/Copy Editor

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.

Ashley Alicson Rosinski

Ashely Alicson Rosinski is a fourth year majoring in History and Education. She exclusively created graphics in order to be put on this contributors page and have the bio that you are reading right now. Ashley can be found doing many random things, such as enjoying dill pickle seasoning, crying about how stupid kids are (not related to her student teaching, just generally), and making her friends write her bios for her. Ashley would also like to give Fiona a huge shoutout and say that she is her absolute favorite person ever. These are Ashley’s real and true thoughts and nobody else has had any hand in writing this bio.

Jenny Fu

jenny is a third year biology and sociology double major (very cwru coded), she loves birds (especially ducks), and matcha. her favorite type of articles to write involve niche chronically online references that will inevitably confuse readers. when she’s not writing for the athenian, you can probably find her on the 3rd floor of ksl working on something on canva or sitting in a coffee shop somewhere in cleveland.

MG Davis

MG Davis is a 4th year physics major for some reason. He joined The Athenian in Fall 2023-ish because the old website intrigued him. Ya’ll should read/write/Athenian for the Athenian

Edie Barlin

Edie is a 4th year Biochemistry major who has had the misfortune of writing for The Athenian all 4 years she’s been on campus. She spends her free time doing theater, crocheting, and getting emotionally invested in calcium transport. She won “best graphic” her freshman year for Mistletoes which is her proudest achievement.
