Senior Noor Qureishy, in her fourth year on staff, is The Rubicon's Managing Editor. Qureishy is the Co-President of the Muslim Student Alliance group and utilizes her compassionate nature to write all types of, but especially long-form, journalism. Her summer job at Press Publications taught her valuable skills and expanded her journalistic knowledge. In the year to come, Qureishy hopes to explore how the new print and online editions of The Rubicon can coexist, and how both staffs can work together to improve quality coverage. When she isn't working diligently on The Rubicon, Qureishy enjoys reading fiction, writing in her journal, and hanging out with friends.

She can be reached at [email protected].
