Assistant Editor — Clia Goodwin |
|
Assistant editor Clia Goodwin, who earned her doctorate in comparative literature from the University of Illinois, had, she says, a “checkered career.” She has held such varied and interesting jobs as a question editor for Trivial Pursuit games and as a teacher of critical analysis at the University of New Hampshire. She also worked at UNH recently as the editorial assistant for the Journal of Geophysical Research-Space Physics. However, she has since settled into freelance copyediting, and, as a scholar for the New Hampshire Humanities Council she lectures and facilitates book discussions in public libraries. She joined Inquiry in the fall of 2010 because she enjoys working with students to help them improve their writing. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dr. Goodwin lives in Dover, New Hampshire, with her husband. She enjoys studying medieval literature, singing, and gardening. She is eager to see where her path will lead her in the future. |

Although it’s only her third year at the University of New Hampshire, Laura Jarvis will be graduating in May of 2011. Originally from Framingham, Massachusetts, Laura came to UNH for the hospitality management program, but discovered that her true passion lies in the area of psychology and counseling. However, cooking remains one of her most cherished hobbies. When Laura is not in the kitchen, she’s cooking up enthusiasm for her Honors classes and upcoming senior thesis. Laura returned to Inquiry after thoroughly enjoying last year as a student editor, and expects volunteering with Inquiry will help with her own research. After graduating, Laura hopes to obtain a master’s degree in psychology and pursue her dream of becoming a counselor, most likely at the high school level. In keeping with this dream, Laura has already held an internship at Newmarket Junior/Senior High School, and can’t wait to start her life helping students in need—and perhaps spicing up their lives with a bit of her exquisite cooking! |

Lynnette Macomber, a sophomore Honors student, has an obvious affinity for high-tension situations. When she is not riding her dirt bike or racing her 2002 Mustang V6, she is practicing her skills of debate in mock trial. Originally from Plaistow, New Hampshire, she came to the University of New Hampshire on a scholarship to major in journalism and justice studies and to minor in psychology. A veteran of the Barnes & Noble sales counter, she enjoys reading, so it was no stretch for her to try her hand at editing for Inquiry. She plans to study abroad in London and take some time after graduation to travel through Europe or go to graduate school. Afterwards, she would like to pursue a law degree; but if, after four years of studying, law school proves an unattractive option, she has not yet ruled out a career in publishing. |

Feeling the pull of the White Mountains, Laura Roach came to the University of New Hampshire as an economics major. The sophomore from Kingstown, Rhode Island, joined Inquiry to get involved in research and possibly to prepare for a project of her own in the years to come. A member of the Honors program, Laura is also intrigued by Islamic studies and is learning Arabic. In addition to these aspirations, Laura enjoys running and attending concerts in her spare time. |

When Durham, New Hampshire, sophomore Katy Sternberger says that she’s “always writing,” she’s telling the simple truth. From the sixth grade on, this English/journalism Honors student with a minor in French has been publishing her short stories and poems locally and nationally; and Soar, the fine arts and literary magazine she founded with the aid of her high school librarian, continues publication in print and online. Katy’s summer class in astrophysics at Phillips Exeter Academy led to a research project on Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921), a Massachusetts astronomer, and a paper that was accepted by the American Association of Variable Star Observers for a conference held on Nantucket. The island inspired her in more terrestrial ways, and the magazine Nantucket Island: Our Way of Living published a full page of her photos and poems. Katy continues her interest in astronomy by volunteering at the UNH Observatory and writing for her web site: www.StarWrite.org. Katy is looking ahead to the possibilities of a journalism internship and an editing career. |
