Mattie Fitzpatrick
Editor-in-Chief
Hello! My name is Mattie Fitzpatrick and I'm looking forward to becoming Editor in Chief.

I love the people I've met through it as well as the opportunity to become more involved on campus. Outside of the ASP, I love to read, listen to music, and spend time with my family and friends.
Lucienne Burns
News Editor
Hi everyone, my name is Lucie and I am looking forward to being the News Editor for the ASP this year! I am currently a junior majoring in journalism and in political science. I began writing for the ASP in fall of 2024 when I transferred to UAlbany. At my previous school I discovered my interest in newswriting and editing, so it only made sense that I got involved in the club here. Outside of the ASP, I like to listen to music, go on walks, and spend time with my friends.
