Emma Conti-Windle, Opinion Editor

Emma Conti-Windle is a second year and legacy student. She is majoring in Communication and Media Studies and minoring in Journalism. This is her second year on staff, and her first year as the Opinion Editor, though she has always had a passion for writing and media production. Her favorite pieces so far are the ones she has written on Taylor Swift and life itself, and she looks forward to growing her portfolio with The Campus. Not only is she a huge Swiftie, but Emma is also a dual citizen of Australia, and finds guilty pleasure in watching old episodes of Glee whenever she can.

Emma Conti-Windle, Staff Writer February 2, 2024

Not all that glitters

Emma Conti-Windle, Staff Writer January 19, 2024

How to go home

Emma Conti-Windle, Staff Writer December 8, 2023
