Anjali Aiyappa

Anjali Aiyappa, originally from Illinois, is an International Studies major and Sociology minor at AU. She enjoys languages and travel and will someday be a US Ambassador to a country off the Pacific Ocean that is a big contributor to the world's supply of band-aids that nobody has ever heard of.

Jordan Berg

Jordan is a walking contradiction. AU student who chose AU over other Ivy League Schools. Economics major who hates business and money, SIS student who can't learn a language. Black and Jewish. Big Vegetarian. Background Pennsylvania Dutch and New York African American. Feminist Fratboy. I am prone to rash decisions and flaking out. I love chick flicks and Bruce Willis movies. My ultimate dream is to live on a beach and do nothing. I have been most inspired by the movie office space. As a senior I am focusing on my future, Fulltime Existentialist and getting my M.R. Degree. I write for the Word because writing is my outlet and passion. So if you like my work e-mail me and if you don't then know that I am a "south" and thus ultra sensitive.

Manuel Quinones

Manuel is as dynamic as he is eccentric. Yes! His erratic personality warrants such vague description. Manuel is political; the American government system is his ultimate passion. His dream is to be a TV White House or Capitol Hill correspondent. He has worked at several news bureaus, local network affiliates and government agencies in Washington DC and is an anchor/reporter for ATV News.
