The brilliance of The Daily Orange is in the people who make it up:

Anna: My duck would be tragically incomplete without a shout-out to you! I owe you a big thank you because you’re the one who informed me about the asst. video editor position in the first place! Thanks for showing me the ropes and providing wonderful advice, insight and examples of quality storytelling. 

Camryn: What a year it’s been! I’ve enjoyed working alongside you ever since our start at The D.O., even when we had to figure out how to make drinks and snacks for Snapchat! You’re talented in your field and an amazing human being. I wish you the best for the rest of your time at ‘Cuse and beyond!

Rachel: I’m so happy you joined the team this semester, and I’m so sad our time working together got cut short! Your creative eye, kindness and dependability inspire me. I hope you enjoyed your time at The D.O., and I look forward to seeing the incredible work you do in the future!
