Associate
Editors: 2008-2009
History majors of any year may apply
for this position. One must be proficient in grammar, sentence structure
and diction. One also must have an understanding of what constitutes an
intriguing and well-written research paper, and have an interest in history and
appreciation for uniqueness.
The Associate Editor meets with
other Associate Editors and the Editors-in-Chief for paper distribution.
At this meeting each Associate Editor receives 3-5 research papers. They
must read them in about a week, and then email the Editors-in-Chief grades and
comments for each paper. The Editors-in-Chief will then decide with the
Associate Editor which paper is most suitable for publishing, and then the
Associate Editor will have 2-3 weeks to edit the paper, meet with the author,
and have the author email the final paper to the Editors-in-Chief for final publication.
Note: Not every Associate Editor has a paper that is chosen for publication, and likewise if an editor has more than one paper chosen,
the Editors-in-Chief will decide to distribute the extra papers to other Associate Editors.

Michael Lu
Year: Third
Double Major: Philosophy
Michael's greatest fascination in history resides in the realm of Early Modern
European History. More specifically, his interests in
the Early Modern European epoch focus especially on one event, the French
Revolution.
In his spare time, he likes to access Wikipedia online and just immerse
himself for hours in reading articles about whatever subjects are
unfamiliar to him. He honestly feels that the website is capable of expanding
his base of knowledge, even if all he takes from it are the most rudimentary
facts (since professional scholars have deemed it "unreliable"). Besides,
it is free to use.
