Mary Nancy Walter is a senior German major pursuing business coursework and a history minor who hails from the lively and offbeat cultural mecca of Louisville, Ky. Moving from that quirky town to Washington, D.C., was a huge change, but Georgetown basketball and D.C.’s unpredictable weather quickly helped her to feel at home on the Hilltop. Since her first days with THE HOYA pounding the pavement to sell ads to local businesses as part of the sales department, Mary Nancy has taken her pitch about why THE HOYA is a great business partner to heart. When she’s not in the Biz Office listening to bluegrass while looking over contracts and financial statements, Mary Nancy can be found running the bimonthly Mobile Soup Kitchen program or exploring the District. As General Manager, Mary Nancy is excited to lead the Publishing Division staff to ensure that the newspaper can serve Georgetown in the most innovative ways possible into its 93rd year.

Evan Hollander is a senior in the School of Foreign Service. Hailing from the college basketball mecca of Louisville, Ky., it was no surprise that Hollander got his start in the sports section, covering men’s lacrosse and football before serving as sports editor. Elected to the Board in November, Hollander was also a writer and columnist on Georgetown’s men’s basketball beat this spring. In April, he was elected to a one-year term as chair of THE HOYA’s board of directors. An international politics major, you can often find Evan chewing over the topics of the day at Martin's or Tombs. His most treasured memory of Georgetown so far is celebrating the Hoyas' win over Syracuse on press row at Verizon Center, but he's still waiting to make a trip to the Final Four.

Kent Carlson is a senior in the School of Foreign Service majoring in international politics. Originally from Minneapolis, Mn., he likes to spend his time skiing, reading and exploring Georgetown's history. For the past two years, he’s spent many hours in service to the THE HOYA, enjoying the work and challenges that came with the job of director of personnel and is proud now to serve as a member of the board of directors. He will certainly never forget his friends at THE HOYA, who never fail to pour their sweat, blood and tears into preserving one of the most historic institutions on Georgetown's campus.

Braden McDonald, former executive editor of THE HOYA and current member of the Board of Directors, is a College senior majoring in government with minors in philosophy and history. Braden was born and raised in Canada. Though THE HOYA has fast become his raison d’être at Georgetown, Braden enjoys learning languages and finds the academic questions of state formation and democratic realities and unrealities particularly tantalizing. Braden will likely work for RBC Royal Bank for the third consecutive year this summer and hopes to find a permanent job that will nurture his love for skyscrapers, cosmopolitan cities and problem-solving. His most cherished memory of his time on THE HOYA is the collective loveable insanity that is sure to emerge at around midnight on production nights — an insanity that all at once forges lasting friendship, drives productivity and affords comic relief.

Samantha Randazzo is a senior French major and linguistics minor originally from San Jose, Calif. A former copy chief, Sam has since branched out into blog writing, interning at Lucky magazine and finally serving on the Board of Directors of the paper that has shaped her Georgetown experience. Outside her life at THE HOYA, Sam enjoys “Game of Thrones,” Sweetgreen fro yo, spending an appalling amount time on BuzzFeed and hanging out at Tombs. She has too many awesome memories from her time at THE HOYA to pick a single favorite, but most of the front runners include late nights in Leavey 421 with her best friends and a few too many glazed Pop’ems.

When she does find a few free moments, she enjoys watching nerdy television shows (and writing a column for The Guide about it), going to Chipotle with her friends and avoiding Lau. As she starts her fifth semester at THE HOYA and her last year of college, she realizes that she wouldn’t have wanted to spend her time any other way.

Having sold his soul to THE HOYA in September of his freshman year, he is excited that he can now contribute to informing the Georgetown community as the campus news editor. If he weren’t constantly working, Eitan would enjoy hanging out with friends and causing (more) mischief.

For the past year, he’s spent many hours as a photographer for THE HOYA, enjoying the challenges of coordinating with his section and taking full advantage of the invaluable opportunities presented by this paper. He will never forget the countless memories from his first year at THE HOYA, including covering Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and sitting 10 feet from Rosario Dawson, camera in hand. He is eagerly anticipating three more years of late nights and the lifelong friendships that come from them.
