Caroline Cunfer, Theater/Books Editor

Caroline is a sophomore in GLS with a concentration in Contemporary Culture and Creative Production, whatever that may mean.   She grew up in allegedly the "sweetest place on earth," Hershey, Pennsylvania, but does not agree with that title.  If you happen to be looking for her, Caroline is at Joe Coffee.  In the past year and a half in NYC she has become obsessed with Off-Broadway, eaten too many almond croissants from La Colombe, and written a 20-page paper about coffee shop culture in NYC.  She loves theater in New York, eating in New York, walking in New York, reading about New York, and is generally just very enthused about New York.
