This editorial board wants to take this opportunity to recognize the incredible contributions made by our ten graduating seniors over the past four years. Despite being a club, the ample amount of work and dedication that goes into maintaining The Justice can often feel like a full-time commitment, but these graduates have taken these challenges in stride. Although we will miss sharing our late nights in the office with them, we are more than excited to see what their bright futures have in store for them! 

Leah Breakstone ’25 was a deputy editor of The Justice who dedicated immense time and effort into planning the paper’s capital campaign, JustForward. Leah has spearheaded the creation of the campaign’s Alumni Advisory Board, led numerous meetings to ensure the campaign’s success and has served as its point of contact for the University and alumni. During her time as News editor, Leah contributed well-written and thoughtful articles, providing the community with essential coverage. Leah’s hard work has made incredible strides in securing The Justice’s financial stability. 

Tibria Brown ’25 was a dedicated Forum editor who led the section with an abundance of thoughtfulness and care. She brought so much positive and calm energy to the office. She never failed to supply the office with endless jokes, lively conversations and meaningful moments. After serving as the Forum editor, Bria became a deputy editor, where she continued to help The Justice grow and thrive. Always willing to offer guidance and advice, Bria was an invaluable member of The Justice leadership team. Continuing her remarkable ability to bring The Justice editors together, Bria created a social events calendar that will undoubtedly help keep team morale up. Bria was a truly remarkable editor, team member and friend. The Justice cannot wait to see all the amazing things Bria will do in the future. 

Amanda Chen ’25 was a social media editor for The Justice, dedicating ample time to creating graphics and captions for the paper’s Instagram account and ensuring the section’s organization through a content calendar. Amanda has undeniably increased The Justice’s posting frequency and has a keen eye for detail. Her tireless work has made the section operate much more efficiently, giving The Justice a professional and consistent online presence. Amanda was also a senior staff writer for the news section, having started on the paper as a news staff writer. Amanda has provided extensive coverage of University lectures and events even after her promotion to section editor. We will miss Amanda’s calm, reassuring demeanor in the office!

Lin Lin Hutchinson ’25 began his time at The Justice writing for the News section and transitioned into the role of News editor not long afterwards. Lin Lin brought a passion and talent for writing to the News section. His dedication to journalism made him an invaluable asset to The Justice, and he often wrote more than one article every week. In addition to his skills as a writer, Lin Lin brought so much levity, kindness and humor to the newsroom, making him a joy to have in the office. A truly talented writer and news editor, Lin Lin’s presence will be greatly missed. The Justice wishes Lin Lin all the best as he graduates from Brandeis. 

Dalya Koller ’25 started her time at The Justice as a News editor, dedicating her time to publishing quality articles every week. Her writing and reporting skills added so much professionalism and depth to the News section. Dalya always writes with an abundance of care and thoughtfulness, never shying away from the most groundbreaking stories. In 2022, Dalya, along with her co-news editor, Leah, covered the shuttle crash, ensuring crucial information was given to the Brandeis community. When Dalya moved into an associate editor position, she continued to exercise her stellar writing skills to cover crucial news stories, including coverage related to the Israel-Hamas War. The Justice is grateful to Dalya for all of her dedication and passion to the newspaper. 

Ariana Rich ’25 started as a Student Union correspondent for the News section, providing summaries of the Union’s senate meetings for the Senate Log biweekly. However, she was quickly promoted to Forum editor, gracing the section with incredibly nuanced and eloquent opinion pieces in her departure from news coverage. Arie’s ability to inspire and communicate complex ideas through her writing will be sincerely missed at The Justice, along with her upbeat attitude and humor. Arie’s generous and supportive attitude filled the office with incredible warmth.

Marina Rosenthal ’25 was The Justice’s Layout editor, contributing photo stories for our Arts and Culture and Sports sections each week. Marina’s combined creative eye and talent for storytelling was evident through each of her layout designs. Her penchants for design and leadership have even extended to her work as an editor-in-chief of Laurel Moon, the University’s national literary magazine for undergraduates. We will deeply miss Marina’s witty jokes and dynamic energy — throughout this year’s late nights and tense moments, her charisma has uplifted the office’s morale without fail.

Isabel Roseth ’25 was The Justice’s editor in chief for the 2023-24 academic year, leading the paper through an unforeseen and turbulent period of campus demonstrations. This year, Isabel was a helpful advisor to the executive board as a senior editor, providing reassuring guidance for any unexpected crises and words of support. Isabel contributed crucial coverage of the Nov. 10 protest and the events leading up to it — a series of articles that have been referenced an abundance of times, even in our recent reporting. She has left a significant impact on the paper, and such careful documentation of the University would not have been possible without her guidance. We will miss Isabel’s conscientious attention to detail and calm leadership in the office.

Mina Rowland ’25 brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the Arts and Culture section during her time at The Justice. Serving as the Arts editor, Mina infused her creative flare into every issue, showing off her drawing and writing talent. She always brought so much warm, welcoming energy into the office, never failing to bring joy to everyone she spoke to. A truly dedicated member of the Brandeis community, Mina has so much empathy and compassion to share. As she moved into an associate editor position, Mina continued to bring fun energy to the editors. The Justice will miss Mina’s jovial attitude and beautiful artistic skills, but we know that she has a bright future ahead of her. 

Lauryn Williams ’25 led the Forum section with such grace and kindness during her time at The Justice. Starting as the Forum editor, Lauryn brought so much skill and compassion to her work, ensuring that the section always had meaningful, insightful content every week. As she transitioned into the deputy editor position, Lauryn continued to offer her talents to The Justice by completing senior reads and sensitivity reads. She helped ensure that The Justice could put out quality content. The Justice is grateful to have had Lauryn’s writing skills and compassion. Her kind smile and humor will be missed in The Justice office, but we wish her the best of luck in the future. 

The contributions of these ten graduates can not be overstated. Their diverse skill sets, wisdom and passion have been instrumental to the quality of our paper’s reporting and to the office’s welcoming atmosphere. We appreciate their unwavering support and emphasize that they are always welcome back to swing by our office for a visit! We can’t wait to see their next chapters unfold and we will continue to uplift and inspire them along the way — just as they have done for us.
