Daniel Newman, Copy Editor

Daniel Newman, a senior journalism major and psychology minor from Seattle, Washington, is serving as the Copy Editor for the Falcon in the 2021-22 school year, after serving as Sports Editor for the past two years. As the copy editor, Daniel's hope is that the stories the Falcon writes will provide accurate information for students, faculty, staff, and others in the community, so all are aware of the many events and issues going on around them, and the variety of diverse perspectives and individuals among us. When not attending athletic events and reading the Falcon's latest pieces, Daniel can often be found watching reality tv, clicking the "random page" button on Wikipedia, and exploring new towns and places.
