Skyler was the editor of The Neersyde this year and, as was the case last year, really anchored our staff and wrote some insightful and thought-provoking pieces such as "The Problem with Extra Credit" and "Holocaust Theme Adds More Gravity to Monuments Project." Without her leadership, The Neersyde would not be nearly as prolific or engaging.
