Former C.I. Writers Make It To the Big Leagues

I freely profess there really ought to be no such thing as a former Claremont Independent writer.

Of all the publications on campus, it tends to be the most family-like. Its alums marry one another, attend each others' weddings, and remain lifelong friends.

So naturally, I've been following what they've been up to post-graduation. Here's a quick smattering. You're unlikely to get to know those conservative students as the college is making a serious effort to lurch to the Left.

  • Kevin Vance CMC '08, editorial assistant for The Weekly Standard, fellow of the Collegiate Network, and editor emeritus of the Claremont Independent wrote a piece on the heroic efforts of Republicans to keep a Northern Virginia congressional district.
  • Adam D'Luzansky CMC '08 is now fast at work on The Uncommon Knowledge blog. Yes, that is the same outfit as the Peter Robinson, Uncommon Knowledge Blog. He once served as the Claremont Independent's publisher.
  • Joanna Repsold, CMC '06 is an aspiring actress, wedding guest number #1 in American Carol, and praying mantis eater.
  • Katherine Kellet and Marc S. Bathgate CMC '08 and CMC '05 are now engaged.

Being engaged is making it to the big leagues?

Yes, Charles, because we base caring about who makes it to the big leagues based on their political views.


To quote Borat,

"NOT!"

The link for the UK Blog incorrectly goes to Joanna. The correct link is http://www.uncknowledge.com

Thanks Charles!
