Throughout my time at the Northern Iowan I’ve had the opportunity to write about a lot of things across campus. Although I’m not the best at writing it’s been a fun experience. I also have to give a big thank you to our copy editors – Erin Kamp & Sophie Hoffmeier and our news editor – Caroline Christensen. They are more qualified than I am, and give helpful feedback on things that I write.
I enjoy writing for the Northern Iowan because I get to hear about so many amazing things on campus! I also don’t get to write a lot in my classes so it’s nice to have some experience in writing – especially in AP style.
