The Evanstonian

Gigi Wade, Opinion Editor

My name is Gigi Wade; I’m a senior and an Opinion Editor for the paper, which is a particularly interesting role for me because I hope to study International Relations and Comparative Politics in college. Writing for the Evanstonian has been a wonderful opportunity, and has equipped me with the investigative and lexemic skills to one day pursue a career in the political sphere. Outside of the paper, I have been involved in Public Forum debate for four years, I participate in a number of volunteer-oriented activities within the school, and I love discovering new music!
