I'm a rising senior in the Professional Writing Program here at Purdue, but due to several major changes prior, I haven't had the chance to write in an extracurricular fashion while I've been on campus. The Odyssey opening up to include non-Greek writers is perfectly timed with the winding down of my studies. Working for The Odyssey would also provide testament toward my writing abilities as I apply to law school and, eventually, to write for journals there. I also largely write poetry in my free time, and would embrace the opportunity to write in a differing, more linear fashion.
