As the Ram’s very own seniors prepare to leave Fordham, we asked them about their favorite moments in their time spent in McShane B-52.
Sofia Donohue
Sofia Donohue was the Editor-in-Chief for Volume 106. She said, “It’s so hard to pick just one! One of my favorite memories at The Ram was putting together our annual orientation issue. It was our first time back in B-52 after summer break and since we were producing a shorter paper there was more leniency to goof off. Everyone was high-energy and we were just all excited to be back together.”
Hannah Boring
Hannah Boring was the Production Editor of Volume 106. She shared that “Some of my fondest memories of The Ram are walking home in the middle of the night after production with Allison and Sofia (and whoever else made it all the way to the end). It was always the perfect ending to a usually very stressful night.”
Evan McManus
Evan McManus was the Editorial Director of Volume 106. He shared that his favorite Ram memory “was in Volume 105 when we all did a table read of a play written by a staff member. It was very funny, and remembering the moment still makes me laugh!”
Grace Campbell
Grace Campbell was the Multimedia Director for Volume 106. She shared that her favorite Ram memory is “Staying too late and laughing too hard with the rest of the 105 digital team.”
Frances Schnepff
Frances Schnepff was the Multimedia Director for Volume 105. She shared that her favorite Ram memory is of “The Digital Team in the Sports Room with our makeshift table that constantly wobbled.”
Emma Kim
Emma Kim was the News Editor for Volume 105. She said, “There were so many great moments working on The Ram. From late nights editing and talking in B-52 to every other moment that led up to production night, it was always busy and interesting. While it’s hard to choose one memory, I think my last production night as News Editor on Vol. 105 was my favorite. Everyone on e-board and staff was there. We reminisced about the past and had a great final time together. After leaving college, I know the creative and welcoming atmosphere of The Ram is always going to stick with me.”
Lauren Lombardi
Lauren Lombardi was an Assistant Culture Editor for Volume 105. She shared that “One of my favorite memories was being able to attend the New York Film Festival on behalf of The Ram! Also, spending nights getting to know the rest of the staff and making so many wonderful new friends.”
Grace Galbreath
Grace Galbreath was Assistant News Editor for Volume 105 and creator of GG’s Crossword. She shared that her favorite Ram memory is “Captaining the Ram’s official intramural volleyball team, the Rambearables and writing the student athlete column about our trials and tribulations on the court.”
Rory Donahue
Rory Donahue was the Social Media Director for Volume 105. She shared that her favorite memory at The Ram was “Spending my Tuesday nights in McShane with the amazing digital team, talking all things Fordham. I made special friendships during my time there!”
Cailee Zeraat
Cailee Zeraat was Copy Chief of Volume 106. She shared that “My favorite memory was when election day coincided with production night at The Ram. Watching the results of the election in real time, constantly refreshing the live results page and filling out the map we printed were the best reminders of the importance of the work that we were doing and how much everyone in that room was truly committed to journalism. Experiencing such an important moment in history with some of my favorite people at Fordham is something I will never forget.”
Indira Kar
Indira Kar was an Executive Copy Editor for Volume 106. She shared that “My favorite memory at The Ram would be winning a coloring contest during production with my winning art hung behind the EIC desk or my little brother and I’s articles being formatted on the same page of an issue last year (#ramily).”
Lusa Holmstrom
Lusa Holmstrom was the Assistant Opinion Editor for Volume 106. She shared that her favorite Ram memory was “Sitting at the printing computer every production night and having everyone ask me to print their pages in a fun new way every other minute.”
Madelyn Gerth
Madelyn Gerth was the Assistant Copy Chief for Volume 106. She said, “My favorite memory at The Ram has to be this past Ramsmas. Many of our amazing staff members gathered for a party with a homemade dinner spread, accompanied by games full of laughter, particularly the Hunger Games simulator on the living room TV. I’m so grateful for all the little moments spent with all of you at The Ram.”
A warm congratulations to all of our departing seniors! We are so grateful for all of your dedication, time, and joy that you’ve brought to this paper, and can’t wait to see what you do in the future.
Best,
The Fordham Ram, Volume 107
