When she applied for a job editing a student newspaper, Molly Vaillancourt had never heard of The Lance.
“I’ve always wanted to be a writer,” she says. “Then the UWSA put out a posting saying they were hiring a lead editor for a paper."
Vaillancourt, a bachelor of education student with a BA in linguistics, history and culture, had limited journalistic experience but was passionate about writing.
