C.T. Schwink (Sports Editor) is a senior online journalism major at the University of Maryland. He originally attended West Virginia University where he witnessed his first sports tragedy on Dec. 2, 2007, 13-9 Pitt over WVU in the Backyard Brawl. A loss that knocked WVU out of the national championship and forever redefined his relationship with sports. The score "13-9" turned a mild interest into an obsession, straining relationships in all aspects of his life. In his leisure time C.T. enjoys excessive dosages of beer and chillin' with the boys. Some discriminate and call him a bro, to this he simply replies, "Nay." He loves his country and embraces its second language, Español. One day he hopes to be a big fancy sports writer and scribe hacky columns all day while people on the Internet write IN ALL CAPS just how hacky he is. Some might discriminate and call him a hack, to this he will simply reply, "Nay."
Josh Axelrod (Social Life Editor) is a sophomore journalism major at the University of Maryland. He hails from the steel city, Pittsburgh, and bleeds black and gold for his Steelers and Penguins (and most recently the Pirates). His ultimate goal is to one day land a spot at Entertainment Weekly, the holy grail of pop culture journalism. The son of two journalists, he just loves to write, wherever and whenever he can. Josh also enjoys the occasional game of soccer or basketball, watching way more movies than he probably has time for and winning arguments with my friends when I clearly was right all along. He (if you couldn't tell already) is also an avid pop culture geek and can answer just about any question concerning movies and his favorite television shows (which include True Blood, Chuck, and The Big Bang Theory). He is excited to be a College Magazine editor and hopes to make his section the best thing College Magazine has to offer.
Hussein Hammouda (Success Editor) also called ‘H,’ ‘HH,’ ‘HHH,’ or ‘H cubed’ depending on which of his friends or colleagues is addressing him – grew up in Fairfax, VA but attends the University of Massachusetts Amherst. When he’s not glued to his computer, editing articles, he’s glued to his computer, catching up on movies or television (his friends say the number of shows he follows isn’t humanly possible). And when he’s not doing that, he indulges in a good book, eats, spends time with family or friends, eats, spends time with Jasmine (his guitar; the name came from jokes that he looks like Aladdin) or is doing something related to the beautiful game, be it a round or 20 of FIFA, watching Manchester United play or even just kicking a ball around. Or he's eating.
Nicole Martin (Sex & Dating Editor) is a junior print journalism major and sociology minor at Penn State University. She fell in love with the magazine world at age ten when she first picked up a Cosmo, and she’s been living and breathing magazine journalism ever since. When she's not writing and editing, she spends her free time reading, drinking Starbucks, cooking, spending time with friends and family, and watching sports (bleeding black and gold of course!). Nicole aspires to travel abroad, become an author and one day run her own magazine.
Sam Spiegelman (Sports Editor) is a senior online journalism at the University of Maryland. Born and raised in New York, he's naturally been overwhelmed by the disappointments that are the Jets and Knicks. On a more positive note, he's seen his Terps knock off Duke, a game with two buzzer-beater finishes and the last game Gary Williams coached. That's the beauty of sports. But when he's not writing about or watching sports, he's Tweeting about them. And when he's not Tweeting, he's on a date with his DVR, getting his dance on or enjoying a cold adult beverage with friends.
Lauren Daly (PR & Social Media Intern) is a junior English and French double major at the University of Maryland. She loves playing lacrosse, writing, attending sporting events and decorating her dorm room. She has been figure skating since the age of seven, and is a member of Maryland’s Figure Skating Club. In her free time she likes creating and editing videos with friends, reading anything from Chelsea Handler to Harry Potter, and watching Jersey Shore. She intends to minor in Creative Writing, and add a major in Communication. She has aspirations of being an author, as well as working in Public Relations and possibly Hospitality Management.
Tai Coates (PR & Social Media Manager) By day she's a student; by night she is a frazzled student! Tai is a freshman at the University of Maryland studying Communications and plans to minor in Creative Writing. Originally from Bryans Road, Maryland, she loves writing and aspires to hopefully write screenplays in the near future. In her spare time you'll most likely catch her adding on to her music collection, ridiculing movies that she finds in poor taste, updating her blog, or watching new episodes of Psych with her friends.
Nicole Santagata (Marketing Manager) is a senior at Loyola University Maryland majoring in public relations and advertising.
