Hello!! I'm a new Student Assistant in the Dean's Office!

Hi First-Years!

I'm Sophia Brown, a new Student Assistant working in the Dean's Office. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri, and I'm a second-year majoring in Latin and Cognitive Science with a focus in Cognitive Linguistics. I currently am the Games Editor of The Columbia Federalist (look out for our newest issue on 2/13!!), a set designer for the Ancient Greek play Orestes (running 4/14-4/18), and an avid mahjong player. I like to swim (kinda slowly) in Uris Pool, LOVE playing the NYT's crosswords on Crosswithfriends.com (so I can get some help from my long-distance friends), and ardently miss my three dogs. This semester, I've also started an internship working to support and elect pro-choice women across the state of New York! I'll be here to try to answer any questions you may have (walk-in hours coming 🔜), respond to emails, help run the Instagram, and overall, hope to ease your experience! 

Excited to jump in!

Sophia
