	Mary Borovicka, '08 Former Co-Editor-in-Chief and Publicity Director Mary graduated with her BA in English. She previously studied Linguistic Anthropology at the University of South Carolina and East Asian politics in Korea. She is an avid traveler whose affairs with the open road (sky, sea) often compete with her abiding love of her home state, South Carolina. During her time at Barnard she was also a part of the Columbia Baha'fi Club and worked for the Arts Department at WKCR 89.9 fm (listen!), where she explored art and cultural life in New York City. Mary was also a founding member of Echoes with Alexandra Loizzo, '09

She minored in Psychology and also concentrated in East Asian Studies with a history discipline. She was blackmailed into creating the Echoes website and spent hours slaving away under Alex's strict rule. Ashley cracked under the pressure and went mad. Now free, she strives for world domination. The End.
