6/13/2023 0 Comments Team z k member review![]() JE: The main thing is walking into their parties unknowingly. I also do some private tutoring on the side in math, science and English.ĭo the three of you spend any time together outside the office? I’m a Bonner Scholar and work with America Counts at Oberlin Elementary School as a tutor. I’m also a student researcher in Associate Professor of Neuroscience Tracie Paine’s behavioral neuroscience lab. I’m the co-president of Oberlin’s SAAC, and I’ll be working as the athletics representative for Student Senate next year as well. I work as the diversity, equity, and inclusion coordinator for the North Coast Athletic Conference Student Athlete Advisory Council. ZK: I’m on the women’s volleyball team and was a captain these past fall and spring seasons. I work really closely with Mike Mancini, who’s the director of athletics for Communications & Compliance. The other thing I do is statistics and other types of communication work for the varsity athletics teams. It’s honestly a really high level of talent, especially compared to what I’ve heard from people talking about other years. JE: I’m involved in club soccer, which is really fun. Other than the Review, what are your extracurriculars at Oberlin? I love reading their stories every week and I think it’s fun that you can essentially just publish your thoughts. ZMDC: I think I would probably work for Opinions. I think it would also be really cool to get to know the Oberlin arts scene because I definitely don’t go to enough of those types of events. I actually wrote an Arts piece before I was hired by the Review. JE: Similar to Zoe K, I would definitely do Arts. John does a really good job of making the sports section funny, but I like the fact that the arts section has more creative liberty. I would just love to write a fun, cutesy piece, maybe something a little bit less serious. Editors Lily D’Amato and Kathleen Kelleher, especially this semester, have really been able to expand the section and have focused a lot on what they both really want for it. ZK: I think I would want to work for Arts - I really love what they’ve done with their section. If you did not work as sports editors, what section of the Review would you work in? I’ve gotten to see the section and the paper change over time, and I’ve also worked with lots of different staff members, including one of my best friends who I met through the Review, Khalid McCalla. The contributing sports editor was a new position for this section when I started, whereas now it’s much more established. ZMDC: I’ve actually been at the Review for some time now and have witnessed a ton of shifts within the sports section since fall of my second-year. I was hired full-time as a senior staff writer that summer, and I’ve been working here ever since. I thought it would be a good way to stay connected with the community. I was just helping out Khalid McCalla, OC ’21, because he needed an interview and I was like, “Oh I can do it, I know the coach.” Then we got sent home in March 2020, and I continued to write remotely just because I wasn’t really doing much at home. ZK: I started working for the Review at the beginning of my second year. It really wasn’t a hard decision to join. ![]() I knew I wanted to take it because journalism is something I wanted to do. I’d written a few times last year during the spring and applied for the staff writer job, but I was approached about an opening in the sports editor role. JE: I started working for the Review this fall. ![]() When did you start working for the Review and why? This interview has been edited for length and clarity. While their time as a trio is coming to an end, they are grateful for the experiences they had together in the office and in the Oberlin community. I sat down with them in the Review’s production room (not the locker room) to reflect on their work and time together. College fourth-year Zoë Martin del Campo and College third-years John Elrod and Zoe Kuzbari are the current sports editors for the Review. ![]()
