Our team members design, iterate, improve and develop the OLC by interacting with users to obtain input and feedback. We collaborate with partners across campus to showcase student content and work with contributors to develop and publish their content.

It's been an amazing four months as a Copy Editor here at the OLC. I've had the chance to work on a variety of content, and it's been quite a journey. The OLC is a unique space where students can explore and contribute to a wide range of topics.
