MEET THE STAFF | Echo Shen ‘24, Head Layout Editor

Hi! I’m a junior double majoring in Theater and East Asian studies. I grew up in Beijing, China. I joined The Argus layout team during my freshman year and continued on it, now working as a head layout editor. Outside The Argus, I do global marketing and am the current curator of CCC (Chinese Culture Club). I’m also working on a poetry anthology that may come out by the end of the year. I love traveling, reading, and going to theater productions in my free time.

As we go into November, the University's theater community has began to stage the productions they've been rehearsing this semester. The first musical of the Fall 2022 season, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Assassins, premiered last weekend at the Patricelli '92 Theater. Arts & Culture editor Sabrina Ladiwala reviewed the performance here:

MEET THE STAFF | Yun Huynh ‘25, Community Manager

I remembered going through the club fair and signing up for every other organizations to see which one I would like. Argus happened to be one of those. Originally, I wanted to write for the Argus, but my friend Arla was already involved with Layout so I joined her! Later on, I also applied and became a Community Manager in the fall with Sam and Lauren.

Layout was awesome! I loved everyone in Layout and it has been an almost meditative break away from all my classes, tests, and jobs! Becoming a Community Manager has also been so rewarding and I love learning so much about other parts and sections of the Argus.

On campus, I am also a Community Advisor, a TA, and involved with the productions of WesPhoto's semesterly magazine!

The Argus Speaker Series aims to bring established alumni journalists and communications professionals to Wesleyan to give campus-wide lectures on an aspect of the field in which they are well-versed. It is our hope that such a program will engage the Wesleyan community in the importance of journalism and news media as well as educate the community in a large variety of relevant specialized topics.

We are delighted to host our first guest for the Fall 2022 season, Mia Lobel '97! Lobel will share her experiences working in audio journalism, specifically podcasts. Please join us October 28 on Zoom—additional details are on the poster.

The Wesleyan Student Assembly recently met with President Michael Roth to discuss an array of current topics ranging from financial aid, affirmative housing, and housing.
