Hello! My name is Evan Ulmer and this will be my second year on the Miegian Staff as a senior! I am very excited to be our team’s Photo Editor as I have always had a strong passion for photography! I had such a blast on the photography staff last year, that I knew returning I wanted to take on an editor position. I anticipate what this year brings and what accomplishments we will achieve working with the editors and staff, and I look forward to covering all of the lively events that happen throughout my last school year at Miege!
