“I am so excited to be working closely with the business team members this year! I am looking for any new members to the magazine to be enthusiastic, passionate, inventive, and dedicated. Square has easily been the most joyful part of my experience so far at the university. I will also be scouting out models all year who are creative and committed. If that’s you, then please reach out to the magazine!”
