RICHARD BERWIND

Junior Editor or Igor to the Chief

Richard is a junior Creative Writing and English Literature double major with a double minor in Publishing & Editing and Teatre. At The Sanctuary, he is Igor to the Chief (or Junior Editor) and he tries to throw his hump into anything and everything he can get his hands on. He likes to release his soul into the universe by screaming into the void and then hysterically laugh which then evolves into manic weeping. He hopes to someday have five dogs and an apartment on the moon.

JOSH MERCIER

Visual Arts Editor or Omnificent Overseer

Josh may or may not exist, but if they did, they’d probably be double majoring in German and Publishing. Josh might be of an ancient profession known as “ar-tist,” and may or may not have drawn the cover for this and last year’s issues of The Sanctuary. Josh might hope that you enjoy the Museum of Portals, but we’ll never know for sure.

ANGELA GROSSMANN

Prose Editor or Sphinx of Short Stories

Angela has died because of her decision to triple major in Creative Writing, English Literature, and Publishing and Editing, on top of having a minor in the Honors Program. She came back as a revenant to read far too many books. Also, she is exceedingly grateful that her fellow members of The Sanctuary Staff don’t point out when her flesh starts oozing during reading boards. Angela anticipates being stripped entirely to the bone after her post-graduation publishing course, and her entry into the workforce.

SAVANNA CARLSON

Communications Liaison or Disembodied Voice

Savanna is a Creative Writing Major with minors in Film Studies, Religion Studies, and Women Studies, and though she isn’t always corporeal, when she chooses to be it is usually to tell you to play Dungeons and Dragons. She primarily loves writing fiction, though poetry is often a sweet mistress that sneaks into her room in the middle of the night to ask if lightning has feelings or not. She is also the Communications Liaison of The Sanctuary Magazine, which is probably why you came here in the first place.

ELIZA MCDONOUGH

Poetry Editor or Poetry Merlin

Eliza has many tricks hidden up her sleeves. One trick is that she is a first-year Creative Writing student. Another is that she writes her own poetry and nonfiction. Her third trick is that she can be found awake and alert after a night of playing video games. And for the grand finale, she is the poetry editor of The Sanctuary Magazine.
