Wilder Voice Style Guide 

Masthead

Jane Taylor

Senior Editor

Jane is a small-town Iowa girl in her fourth year, dabbling (majoring) in anthropology with minors in Spanish and politics. She is enthusiastic about all shortcuts, loves hiking (especially when a water feature or A Big Rock is involved), and can play the harmonica solo from Piano Man on command.

Reyah Doshi

Senior Editor

Reyah Doshi is a fourth-year student from the Chicago suburbs, studying English and Environmental Studies. Her dream is to teach English in a public high school. She loves running, humming, and the smell of rain on pavement.

Henry Feller

Senior Editor

Henry is a fourth-year neuroscience and sociology double major on the pre-med track. He loves cooking, baking, crossdressing, talking too loudly, and doodling. You can usually find him frantically running from building to building trying to make it to his many commitments (he chronically overbooks himself). He also hopes you have a swell day :)

Micah Gresl-Turner

Senior Editor, Treasurer

Micah is a third-year from South Bend, Indiana planning to major in Mathematics. Her interests include cello, language, and Sylvia Plath.

Vyvia Shen

Arts and Styles Editor

Vyvia is a third-year from Shanghai (the only city she likes). She loves nothing more than Friday evening walks and learning anatomy facts that will gross you out.

Hanna Alwine

General Editor

Hanna Alwine is a fourth year from Carlisle, Pennsylvania studying Comparative Literature, Creative Writing, and French. Hanna spends her time on campus watering trees at the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, cooking at Pyle Inn Co op, and looking up at the clouds. She has recently lost her JBL headphones and, though she has been liking listening to the natural world, she is currently on the hunt and would appreciate any information anyone might have about their whereabouts.

Clara Carl

General Editor

Clara is a fourth year from Ardmore, Pennsylvania, studying Creative Writing and English. She loves poetry workshops, sweet coffee, and David Lynch.

Tessa Furlow

General Editor

Tessa is a third year from Washington DC, planning to major in History. She loves reading and traveling, and wants to pursue a career in publishing.

Felix Brem

General Editor

Felix is a third-year from Orange County, California who plans to major in Creative Writing and maybe psychology. He loves to cook, watch Criminal Minds, write satire & short stories, and teach his pet bird Ziggy new tunes. Some speculate that he’s the reincarnated spirit of Oscar Wilde but that’s just a frivolous theory.

Vincent Jenner

General Editor

Vincent is a second-year from Brooklyn, NY, who is majoring in English and has a side interest in philosophy. He loves existentialist literature and philosophy, as well as other things which can be equal parts depressing and life-affirming. Besides reading, he likes to play games, think too much about stupid shit, and occasionally watch a thing or two.
