Staff Profile

Emily Kowal –– Web News Editor

Emily Kowal ’12 is ready to bring late night layout and controversial story experience to the next level.

Although it is Kowal’s 3^rd year on the staff, she is more excited than ever to step as Web News Editor as a senior. With her spirit and confidence in her writing, Kowal wants to use this year to broaden her horizons, and to strengthen her weaknesses. Her goals are to tackle those controversial issues that although cause trouble, definitely pay off in rewards at the end.

In addition to spreading her horizons, Kowal also wants to expand on her “natural” layout skills. “I love having a blank page and being able to do whatever I want with it,” said Kowal. This passion that she shows for writing and layout also continues in other fields of her life.

Besides time spent at late nights and working at Inklings, Kowal manages to put her full effort into dance and work. In the end though her passion is for journalism.

The most memorable of Kowal’s Inklings times are spent on late nights where cramming hours of work into just one or two seem like greatly impossible tasks. “I love the thrill of the finished product and the relief that comes after finishing a difficult issue,” Kowal said.

Being a senior, Kowal hopes that for her last year Inklings will win another crown so that the paper can get the full recognition that it deserves. Kowal’s advice to new and future staff in order to reach this goal is to be versatile when choosing stories, and also to utilize every inch of space of the page with rich material.
