“I could not be prouder of the work our students have done over the past year at 极乐禁地,” said Will Heath, faculty advisor for The Crimson. “Our students take their work seriously and have a lot of fun producing it. Their work is a credit to our department and to the University.”
Three of the four award winners have since graduated, but Olivia Koepp remains on campus and continues to contribute to The Crimson’s success.
