Engineering News
gets new editor
 Whew!
With my first issue out the door, I can finally introduce myself. I’m
the new editor here at Engineering News and am thrilled to be covering
the myriad cool things you, the students, are doing.
Just recently, I was a student myself. I received my master’s degree
in magazine journalism at the University of Oregon in June. Before that,
I spent several years doing public relations for Microsoft. I’ve
been published in the East Bay Express and Oregon Business. I like eating
artichokes.
Now, at Engineering News, I am on the hunt for all kinds of stories.
Have you started a new student group or won an award? Do you skydive
for a study break? Did you win the campus hot dog-eating contest? Email
events in your life – silly or serious – to rmjacks@berkeley.edu.
I’d also love your feedback on Engineering News: what’s hot,
what’s not. And, if you hate artichokes, that’s okay, you
can tell me that, too.
Rachel Jackson,
editor
Donations needed for
charity drive
From November 29 to December 10, the Engineers’ Joint Council (EJC)
is holding a charity drive to benefit Suitcase Clinic, a non-profit
agency serving the homeless. The clinic needs hygiene products, so go
home and take stock of your bathroom. Buy an extra toothbrush, tube
of toothpaste or bottle of shampoo the next time you’re in the
grocery store. Simple, inexpensive and a good deed to boot! You can
put your item(s) in the bin located in the Engineering Library.
For questions, contact the EJC at officers@ejc.berkeley.edu.
She’s a Genius Corner
winner!
What day would yesterday be if Thursday was four days before the day
after tomorrow?
It’s Friiiidaaaay!
Kimberly Trinh, EECS senior, got it right first. Stay tuned,
we’ll announce a movie ticket winner in the next issue.
