Chris is a junior from Winston-Salem, North Carolina majoring in Government with minors in History and Jurisprudence, Law, & Justice studies. Outside of the Writing Center, you can catch him in the pool with the Men's Swimming and Diving team, running around in a suit and tie singing with the Buffers, or off campus hiking with Hamilton Outing Club. He loves Philadelphia sports teams, good southern cuisine, and thrifting quality clothing, and he appreciates all kinds of music. If you ever spot him alone working in Fojo or walking on Martin's Way, don't ever be afraid to start up a conversation!

Gabrielle is a junior from Cleveland, Ohio majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Math and Creative Writing. She is also part of the Nordic Ski Team, Book XI, Red Weather, the Spectator, and HOC.

Kate is a junior from Chevy Chase, Maryland. She is majoring in History and Art History. When she’s not tutoring at the Writing Center, you can find her on a walk in the Glen, redecorating her room (it just never seems to be done), or on the water with the Rowing team. Off campus she loves skiing, hiking, visiting museums, and frequenting farmers markets.

Norma is a junior from Houston, Texas—yeehaw partner—who is concentrating in ethnomusicology through an interdisciplinary music, Japanese, and Hispanic Studies major. Besides residing in the Writing Center, you can find this friendly gremlin at home in the new and renewed mail center, or the dark corners of the library (shelving books or scanning them hehe). If you still can’t find her, it’s okay–no one ever can because she’s always on the run, most likely in choir, playing her flute or the piano in the practice rooms of Schambach, or writing poetry and reading books in her dorm. She also dances in Tropical Sol, Hamilton’s only Latin dance group, does salsa and bachata, and is one of the co Editors-In-Chief of Culture Magazine.

Senna is a junior from Northborough, Massachusetts majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring in French. When she’s not in the Writing Center, she loves to read Octavia Butler, hang out with her dog, and run around campus collecting donations for Hamilton’s Closet. She loves fall because it means she gets to eat Hamilton-provided Cider Mill donuts every day.

Maddie is a sophomore from Chicago, Illinois who is majoring in Classics with intended Religious Studies/Art minors. Outside of the Writing Center, you can find them on Minor field practicing with the rugby team, working on The Wattage (as the editor), or DJing for their radio show, Via Chicago (10-11pm every Tuesday).

Emily is a junior born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada (pronounced Nuh-vahh-duh) who currently resides somewhere north of the middle of nowhere in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. She is a Creative Writing major with a minor in taking advantage of the open curriculum. When she isn't geeking out about a book or over her classes, you can find her fueling her coffee addiction, giggling incessantly, cooking and being a foodie, listening to jazz, broadcasting music for WHCL, knitting another scarf, walking in the glen, or rewatching and fully quoting movies and TV shows. You'll wish you never said something to remind her of a line in a movie or a lyric in a song.

Off-campus. Isaiah is a junior from Vancouver, Washington. Most of the time, you can find him off campus in Utica working with COOP and HAVOC, or near the Opportunity Program offices in downstairs McEwen. He enjoys reading novels, listening to new hip hop albums, and being disappointed in the Arizona Cardinals every year.

JJ is a sophomore from South Florida who majors in Creative Writing and Economics. A wild JJ can be identified by his durag, which is matching his hoodie, which is matching his Crocs. As JJ says, “If you’re not Croc’n, you're not Rock’n!” His favorite music genre is Christian Hip Hop and he can often be found listening to Lecrae on repeat. He’s an avid Miami Heat fan, fledgling tea addict (the beverage!), poet (and he knows it *snap snap*), and professional amateur ukulele-ist. JJ can be found in many diverse environments including but not limited to: Sadove Sunporch with Hamilton Christian Fellowship, Darkside hanging out with his advisees as a CA, and the Writing Center (obviously). If you ever spot him in real life, don’t be afraid to greet him! He responds to English and Spanish. :))

If you follow any eccentric earring shops on Etsy, please send her the links!

Jakob is a sophomore from northeastern Pennsylvania — near Scranton, for any fans of Writing Center alumnus Paul Lieberstein's 'The Office.' Jakob is majoring in Chemistry. When not in the Writing Center, Jakob is likely spending an afternoon in the chemistry lounge, going for walks in the Glen, or procrastinating in the KJ Atrium. In his free time, Jakob enjoys watching reality television, picnicking, and getting his money's worth from his New York Times Games' subscription.

Mili is a junior from South Texas double majoring in Sociology and Japanese. This small elf can be found in the following places: her dorm (rarely), KJ studying, sunbathing, Diner with her Black Russian with added avocado, and focusing on work with her pink headphones. Besides studying, you can find her watching anime with the Anime Club or talking to strangers as if she’s never learned stranger danger. If you’re really lucky, she may be out and about taking a break from staring at her laptop for hours. Dedication is not for the weak!

Emma is a junior from Southington, Connecticut majoring in Creative Writing and Government with hopes of adding a French minor if the powers that be allow.

She’s a member of the Hamiltones as well as the Hamilton College Choir and an Exploration Adventure Orientation Leader. Whenever she doesn’t have a music-related commitment, she’s usually in KJ atrium and will happily engage in conversation about astronomy or Brandon Sanderson’s novels (don’t spoil the latest one for her, she’s still working on it).

Alejandro is a junior who was raised in Northeast Wisconsin. He is of Yucatec descent. He enjoys writing, acting, Lady Gaga's entire discography, watching the Eurovision Song Contest, and wearing as much purple as he can. The next time you see him, ask him how writing his novel has been going and watch him cringe and flinch away.

Harry is a sophomore from Fremont, California majoring in World Politics with a minor in Psychology.
