Sasha Gopalakrishnan ’20 is an international student from Delhi, India. She is an International Studies major with a correlate in Women’s Studies and has been a part of the Misc since the fall of freshman year. She is also a part of Vassar Refugee Solidarity and South Asian Students’ Alliance, and she desperately tries to attend more than one meeting a year for VCTV, even as she flaunts it on her resume. You are most likely to catch her at Express, consuming copious amounts of coffee and wearing ~experimental~ earrings.

Tiana Headley ’22 is a sophomore political science major who should have declared in sociology. She hails from Miami and will swiftly correct anyone who claims living in Miami and living in Florida are the same thing. Besides fulfilling her duties as News Editor, she also works as an intern at the ALANA Center. In her free time, she enjoys meme archiving and keeping tabs on all the cats she follows on Instagram. 

Olivia ’22 is a sophomore from Indiana, who, after much reflection, is majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior with a correlate in Italian.

Gillian Redstone ’21 is a junior from Northbrook, Illinois with double majors in Art History and Italian. She just returned from her semester studying in Bologna, Italy and is excited to bring her newfound perspectives into her writing for the Misc. She most enjoys writing about art/musuems, travel, music, television and food, and can basically always be found doing anything that involves those five topics. Beyond the Misc, Gillian zooms around mountains with Ski Team, co-music directs for the Vassar College Majors and spends countless hours in the Art Library, which she fondly refers to as the “Art Dungeon.”

Dean Kopitsky ’22 is a sophomore at Vassar, meaning he doesn’t know what he’s majoring in, but American Studies is what he tells concerned inquirers. While he wants to pursue a career in journalism, his prospects are dim, as he only writes when “inspired.” Outside of school, he appreciates a good trail run followed by mowing down enough hash browns and chocolate chip waffles to sedate a calf.

Mohtad Allawala ’23 is a prospective International Studies major from Karachi, Pakistan, who shares a love/hate relationship with InDesign. When he is not at the Deece, Mohtad can be found at the library’s 24 hour section, where he is frequently the last one to leave. He likes talking about how great his hometown is and loves wearing shorts in freezing temperatures. Mohtad is also class senator for the VSA and part of the Vassar March For Our Lives chapter.

Caitlin Patterson ’22 is a Political Science major who is still lamenting Vassar’s lack of  a Media Studies correlate. A second-generation copy editor, she has worked on Copy Staff since her first semester at Vassar. When she’s not reacquainting herself with the AP style guide, she enjoys complaining about the cold, listening to obscure music and collecting clothes in Pantone color 2226 C.

Alexis Cerritos ’22 is a founding member of the Misc’s video production team. When he’s not behind a camera, you can find him napping—when he’s not napping, you can find him behind a DJ board or procrastinating. He’s always down to discuss the latest news in the hip-hop world.

Ben is a sophomore from Worcester MA, switching indecisively between a major in Psychology and Cognitive Science. He enjoys loud music, watching cooking shows (strictly for the ASMR triggers) and drumming. He loves the 1975, and painfully misses the Dixie Chicks. Reach out to him with any and all event inquiries. Office hours are held every weeknight, 1:00-1:30am in the basement of Davi, next to the vending machines.
