Editor-in-Chief: Josie Headley

Hello, I’m Josie! I’m a Rhetoric and Professional Writing student, and I’ve been part of Windhover for four years now, starting on Lit Committee and eventually making my way up to EIC. I love Windhover because it’s a reflection of our campus in a medium you don’t typically see at STEM schools! I’m really proud of the space we’ve been able to make for creatives so far this year, and I joined Windhover to ensure that space remains a priority on our campus, and because it’s a lot of fun!
