Editor in Chief for Volume 103

Culture Editor for Volume 101, Volume 102.

Rachel Gow is a junior at Fordham College at Rose Hill, majoring in Journalism and double minoring in Spanish and environmental studies. She began her journey at The Fordham Ram as a timid freshman, first writing for Opinion, then serving as Culture editor for two years, and now taking on the role of Editor-in-Chief. While she has a slightly concerning addiction to The New York Times, the Ram will always be her favorite newspaper, and she can’t wait to lead it.
