meet the editors
rcr editors are voted for and selected in a democratic process. while these are the editors of the magazine, there are also several other members of staff! if you see one of us around campus or east quad, come say hi and ask us about the rc review!
Macie
editor-in-chief
pronouns: they/them
Hi! I'm Macie and I'm an RC Senior studying creative writing and linguistics. When I'm not in class, you can find me at my job with the Spectrum Center, talking about my dog, or tucked away somewhere writing. Feel free to ask me about anything RCR related, the great undertaking that is my senior thesis, or my many, very carefully curated Spotify playlists (they are my greatest source of pride).

Mary
finance AND layout editor
pronouns: she/her
Howdy! I’m a Residential College student studying Creative Writing & Literature and Translation. I’m also a tutor in the Proyecto Avance Latino Mentoring Association. I can usually be found in the dark depths of campus libraries, writing and listening to Casey Kasem broadcasts. Fun fact: I was once in the top .001% of all Hall and Oates listeners on Spotify. Unsurprisingly, I love reading, and my favorite genre is urban fantasy. I'm always happy to talk about the magical hijinks of the latest series I'm reading—the more vampires and other creatures of the night, the better. Excited to be the Art Editor this year!

Hello! I'm Alina, a junior double majoring in Creative Writing and English. Minor? I hardly know 'er!
