Lauren Stokes
Editor Emeritus
Lauren Stokes was an Editor in Chief at the Gazette from Spring 2007 to Spring 2009, 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 was an Honors Major in History and Minor in German Studies, and after graduating is spending a year in Berlin thanks to the Fulbright Commission. She's also writing about the experience for the Gazette--try as they might, they won't be able to cast her off for a while yet.
