Happy Section Sunday! Shoutout to our amazing copy editors!

Elias Hanson is a sophomore Environmental Studies major who works as a copy editor for the St. Olaf Messenger. They enjoy working for the Mess due to their desire to keep up to date with campus news in advance, and an enjoyment of going over spelling mistakes in red pen.

Riley is a sophomore Creative Writing and Environmental Studies double major from Minnesota. She enjoys working for the Messenger because she loves supporting student journalism and student expression!

Callista is a sophomore SOAN major and environmental studies concentrator. Her favorite part about copy editing for the Mess is getting to read and support everyone’s awesome work each week!

Ashlyn Wuench is a sophomore environmental studies major from Springfield, Missouri. She is a big fan of working with the other lovely copyeditors and openly geeking over grammar with them, as well as getting a sneak peek into the soon-to-be published stories for each issue. This is her second year as a copyeditor, and she has adored how welcoming the Messenger staff have been towards her since she was a wee tot of a freshman
