Liberal Arts/English Major
Hey Fellow Seawolves! I hope the New Year has found all of you happy, healthy, and mentally prepared to endure another vigorous semester! I’m taking this opportunity to introduce myself as the new section editor of “The Other World” section of The Beacon. My name is Rebekah, and I’m from southern New Hampshire, or as the natives call it “n’ampsha”.

I came to SMCC in the fall of 2013 to pursue a degree in Marine Science, however I quickly realized it wasn’t for me and changed my major to Liberal Studies with a concentration in English. When my time at SMCC comes to a close this May, I plan to transfer to a university in Massachusetts to study journalism.

Until then you can find me buried in homework, behind the desk at my job, or feverishly tapping away on my laptop keys, hard at work to make The Beacon’s Other World section the best it can be. However, I can’t make this paper as interesting as it has been and will continue to be without input from other students! The Other World section is looking for students interested in writing about things outside of the realm of our cozy little campus. Have you gone a trip recently? Are there things happening on other campuses around the country that you think we should know about? Are you interested in writing your own weekly column?

If you’re thinking about writing for the Beacon, or are interested in learning more about how you can become a part of our team, feel free to contact me at rebekahamarin@smccme.edu
