Executive editors and hosts of Kit Chat, Lauren Dain and Eden Drajpuch, speak to Student Representative Barbara Tomaradze and In-Depth Editor Jessica Sehgal about the first month of being back in person after over a year away. Tomaradze talks about the student response to the return, while Sehgal describes the reporting process on the In-Depth story for the September issue: Under Pressure.
In that piece, the In-Depth team tracks how a return to the building has also been a return to the high expectations placed on students to participate in as many classes and clubs as possible to appear 'well-rounded.'
