I never thought I’d be working at The D.O., but I’m so glad I was able to join the team my senior year. It’s been an honor working with all these talented people, and it’s opened my eyes about how much work it is to run a newspaper. Even though I’ve only worked at The D.O. for two semesters, it will always have a special place in my heart. Sorry for the cheesiness, but it really has made my experience at Syracuse University even better.

Katie:I don’t know how we haven’t met before this year, but you are one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I’m so glad I met you through The D.O. I honestly had no idea what I was doing at first, and you were someone I could turn to. We’ve gotten to know each other this past year, and your friendship means so much to me. You’re my D.O. soul sister, and I am honored to have been named Rookie of the Year with you! You’re so incredibly talented and smart, I know you’re going to do amazing things. Love you!

Emma: I was shocked that I was even considered or recommended for this position. I didn’t think I was qualified or capable of being part of The D.O., but I’m so happy you reached out to me. It has been so fun working with you, especially because you always bring a positive energy to the Digital team. You’ve shown your leadership skills as digital editor, and you deserve the award as one of the Students to Watch. You’re super talented. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future!

Lucy: You are an incredibly sweet and talented designer. I’m always excited to see your work, and it never disappoints. It’s been so much fun working with you on the Digital team, and I’m going to creep on your website to see what other amazing things you do!



Andy:You’re hands down one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Thank you for all your work with Snapchat and making production so enjoyable. I can always count on you to make me laugh and play the best mashup songs at parties. You have helped The D.O.’s Snapchat grow in a short amount of time and made work fun. I also think Andy on the Promenade should go on forever!

Kevin: You are probably the most driven freshman I have ever met. I’m happy that you joined the team and contributed so much. You’re already so talented as a freshman, I can’t wait to see what else you do later on!

Lydia: It has been so much fun working with you, and I hope your dedication and hard work at The D.O. is being recognized. You’re beautiful inside and out, don’t forget it!

Alexa T: You should get commission for convincing me to go to the chiropractor. It was great, and I’m definitely going again soon. I look up to you because of how hardworking and dedicated you are to The D.O. Also, the way you throw shade at people cracks me up. You’re always so kind to me and made me feel comfortable while working at the house. No matter what you decide to do in the future, I know you’ll kill it.

Alexa D: Thank you for making me feel like I’m part of the D.O. family. The way you treat everyone is how a leader should be. You’re incredible at your job, and I’m glad you were the editor-in-chief during my time here. I hope you know that everyone at The D.O. appreciates all that you do for the paper and how you’ve made it grow. All your hard work has paid off, and I know you’ll continue doing amazing things.
