Chief Copy Editor Kalyn Cronk’s black labs, 3-year-old Vinnie (left) and 11-year-old Louie (right), pose for the holiday spirit.

Morgan Burke is a fourth-year photography and multimedia communications student. This is her fourth semester on The Spectator, and first as Multimedia Editor. In her free time, she loves to make hyper-specific Spotify playlists and eat avocado toast.

Sam Johnson is a fifth-year creative writing and journalism student and this is his fourth semester on staff. When he's not panicking in The Spectator office about becoming a real adult soon, he's panicking in other places, usually his dorm or Dooley's, about becoming a real adult soon.

Thomas DeLapp is a fourth-year English and journalism student, and this is his fourth semester on staff. When not writing, he can be found enjoying mornings, rain and tasty baked goods, especially together.

Nick is a third-year journalism student and this is his third semester at The Spectator. He listens to an unhealthy amount of music and watches just as much TV. He also sometimes enjoys slightly less generic activities, like rock climbing, hiking, and running (sports!).

Kalyn Cronk is a third-year RSTC and journalism student. This is her first semester on The Spectator staff but her last semester of college. In her free time, she likes to go on walks and go on spending sprees in Target.

Oludare is a third-year journalism student and this is his second semester on The Spectator. He likes watching basketball and is pretty mediocre at it, but that doesn't stop him from playing it. He has a small but growing record collection and believes Woody Harrelson is a style icon and national treasure -- fact not opinion.

Sabrina Ftouhi is a creative writing and political science student. This is her fourth semester with The Spectator. She loves spending time with her friends and cat, and one day hopes to go into publishing.

McKenna Dirks is a fourth-year journalism student and this is her seventh semester on The Spectator staff. She thrives under chaotic environments, loves plants and often gives off "granola girl" vibes with her Blundstone boots.
