Kavish Harjai, Editor-At-Large

Kavish Harjai is a junior studying psychology and French in CAS. After long nights as a news desk editor and web managing editor, he escaped to Paris for a semester. He somehow got roped back into the paper as an Editor-at-Large but couldn’t be happier. In his spare time, he likes to prowl around the city in search of Abbi and Ilana from "Broad City.” He hasn’t been lucky thus far but that isn’t going to stop him. Kavish is the type of person to describe his favorite music as dream pop and sometimes randomly speaks French, but if you can get over that, he’s a pretty cool person.
