Editors in Chief elected

Last Thursday, Clare Clancy and Jake Edmiston were elected as the incoming Editors in Chief for Volume 139 of the Journal.

Clancy and Edmiston ran uncontested and won with 21 votes of confidence and none against. 21 votes out of the 45 eligible voters were cast.

“Earlier in the year I spoke to Clare, who wasn’t planning on coming back,” Edmiston said. “I said that if you want to come back to the Journal next year, we could do this together.”

He said the pair hopes to bring in professional editors to train members of the editorial board during the summer session.

“We’re excited to motivate,” he said, adding that they hope to bring their previous experience from various facets of the Journal to their editorship.

Clancy, who is the current news editor, said that the pair’s past experience at the Journal is an asset.

“Jake and I both worked for the Journal for two volumes now and so coming back to be Editor in Chief was a logical step,” she said.

Building on online presence is a priority for both editors, she said, adding that they hope to implement section Twitter accounts.

Clancy said that the pair also plans to build on the redesign implemented this year.

“We want to ensure that we have a smooth transition into the next volume,” she said.
