Emma Swislow is a senior at Amherst College and the editor-in-chief of the Amherst Student. A native of Chicago, she will be interning at Stars and Stripes in Washington, D.C., this summer. Swislow applied for the Dow Jones News Fund program to gain hands-on editing experience at a daily publication, and she’s excited to take on a new challenge writing for the military publication — she didn’t even know it was a possibility when she applied for the Dow Jones program. For Swislow, the ability to work at a paper with a specific focus, like Stars and Stripes, is a bonus. While in the nation’s capital, Swislow plans to soak in the politics happening all over and visit plenty of museums. Swislow enjoys reading and spending time with friends in her free time.
