Leyla Kramarsky, co-editor-in-chief

Leyla Kramarsky is a senior creative writing major at Colorado College. She asked five close friends to please describe her in one sentence and responses were as follows: 1. “Very moisturized skin, and great hair.” 2. “When John Green said ‘she is a mystery wrapped in an enigma,’ he was talking about Leyla Kramarsky.” 3. “Likes to challenge herself.” 4. “Wears old woman makeup and has an appropriate level of concern about home security.” 5. “Cares about keeping her core warm”

Leyla was drawn to Cipher initially for its unique and collaborative writing and editing process. She loves working with students to develop their voices and find meaning and truth in the stories that they choose to tell. Joining the Cipher team is the best decision that Leyla has made at Colorado College. The relationships and skills she has developed at the magazine are infinitely important to her, and she urges anyone interested in writing or creating art to get involved in student publications in any way that they can.

THE DISINCENTIVE

Michael Braithwaite, Representative

Greetings fellow Earthlings. It is I, Michael, The Disincentive's Supreme Ambassador to Cutler Publications. I was originally a pure child of the journalism world. My earliest upbringings in the field included a lengthy tenure at The Catalyst, our weekly student newspaper here at Colorado College. But upon the conclusion of my tenure as Editor-in-Chief, I turned to the dark side. Now, my work with The Disincentive includes starting student uprisings, ousting CC presidents and hacking the bells of Shove Chapel to make them ring two minutes late.

The Disincentive is what a newspaper is not. Any integrity or honesty one may have is immediately lost as soon as they join our publication. We are liars. We are joksters. But most of all, we are committed to bringing the CC community the best fake news anyone could ask for. The Disincentive is one of secrecy. The Cutler Ambassador is the only public member of The Disincentive's administrative team, and as we continue to exist it shall remain so. To truly make our work as effective as it can be, we must remain in the shadows, forever observing and documenting what events lie before us. Thank you for taking the time to read about The Disincentive. We look forward to never talking. If you are interested in joining our publication, please reach out to editors@thedisincentive.com.

CC Outdoor Journal

Veronica Bianco, CO-head editor

Veronica Bianco is a sophomore majoring in Political Science and minoring in Journalism and Spanish.

She also writes for the paper’s Sports and News sections. She is passionate about preserving free, independent journalism especially in a time when newspapers and magazines across the country are being forced to sunset operations. She’s been writing for Willamette Week, an arts and politics alt-weekly in Portland, Oregon, her hometown, since she was 16, covering education, housing, city council elections, and more. Beyond journalism, she plays for CC’s women’s soccer team, is the principal bassoonist in the school’s chamber orchestra, and works at Outdoor Education’s Ahlberg Gear House. In her free time, she loves being outside, playing the guitar, and reading about maritime disasters.
