Lauren Stokes
Editor-In-Chief
Lauren Stokes has been an Editor in Chief at the Gazette since Spring 2007, with a brief break while abroad (read her column 'Honors Denglish') in Spring 2008. She served as news editor for the year of 2006, after starting her career with the Gazette by spending her pass-fail semester writing too many stories. She's an Honors Major in History and Minor in German Studies, and when not tracking down sources, she's involved with the Sexual Health Counselors, the Kitao Gallery Board, and the Presidential Search Committee.
