Hey there, alumni! If you don’t recognize me from my\u00a0picture at the top-right of this page, my name is\u00a0Mack Rivkin and I am the new Class of ’14 Newsletter Editor. I want to extend my gratitude to Bobby Castillo, the former newsletter editor and fantastic friend of mine, for his hard work and dedication to IWU and the class of 2014.<\/p>\n

A bit about me: I studied English and Environmental Studies while at IWU, and was heavily involved with theatre. I am passionate about writing and editing, and I did a ton\u00a0<\/em>of it in school. When I wasn’t writing papers for class, I wrote poetry, short stories, and plays.\u00a0Now, no longer a student, I still write\u00a0for leisure when not working at Epiphany Farms Hospitality Group<\/a> in downtown Bloomington. In my free time I enjoy riding my bike, surfing Reddit<\/a>, and playing Magic the Gathering<\/a> and Dungeons and Dragons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am very excited to do even more writing as Editor of this newsletter, and I hope to serve my class well. Please email me at mrivkin@iwu.edu<\/strong>\u00a0if you have any updates you’d like to share!<\/p>\n

Because this is the internet, I will leave you with an adorable picture of my cats. Happy reading!<\/p>\n

\"Kittens\"<\/a>
