PAST STAFF - SPRING 2022 

Jessica Wyeth

Co-Editor-in-Chief

Only goes by “Jessica” when typing or writing the name out in a professional manner.  However, she more frequently goes by “Jess,” even when baristas interpret it as “Just.”  Her name was invented by Shakespeare. She was named after claymation Mrs. Claus.

Matthew Sawtelle

Co-Editor-in-Chief

Matthew Sawtelle is a junior philosophy major from Dallas, Texas. He loves poetry, and he delights the most when reading formal poets like Timothy Steele, James Matthew Wilson, and Robert Frost. When not boring someone to death by talking about the infinite rhythmical variation possible within a line of iambic pentameter, he enjoys reading St. Augustine in Latin and acting like he knows Greek. Matthew hopes to help the CUA community develop a passionate writing culture, and his dream is that Vermilion will inspire people to fall in love with creative writing. 

Caroline Morris

Associate Editor

I have written myself as many manifestations: grass, a Siren, shredded skin, a fairy, roadkill, a pair of eyes and a forearm, a spinster, a Greek myth, a red hunting hat, the sun, the moon, a math equation, and a dream thing. You are what you eat; I swallow books whole. In actuality, this is all you need to know about me. Empirically, I am a senior English major who will one day be a poet and novelist. So please, if you still want to know more about me, just read my writing. It holds the most honest pieces of myself. 

Margaret Adams

Visual Art/Dramatic Arts Editor

Margaret is drawn to dim lighting, R&B and soul, bergamot and pear perfumes, and eavesdropping on bystanders’ conversations. Some of her influences include Eve Babitz, the Gospels, Joni Mitchell, and Donna Tartt. She loves Toni Morrison, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Vanderpump Rules, the Culkin brothers, and Fats Domino. As a junior psychology major, she is endlessly interested in the intricacies of human behavior. She spends a lot of time thinking about her hometown of New Orleans. 

Angela Hickey

Social Media Manager

Angela Hickey is a junior media and communications major doing a minor in rhetoric and writing from Neptune, New Jersey. She loves reading, writing, and all types of music (besides most country). She also works as a writer for the CUA student newspaper, The Tower. She hopes to help Vermilion to grow more than ever before. 

Mary Harding

Layout Editor

Welcome to my scattered brain that is filled to the absolute brim with useless knowledge on anything from the history of electricity to Salvador Dali's sleep patterns.  This knowledge runs on a steady stream of caffeine and is supported by my English and Biology majors.  This brain has an intense interest in all books especially fantasy and classics, music from any genre except country and beautiful and intriguing art.  I am a senior that works as the layout editor for Vermilion.  

Nicole Cicippio

Creative Nonfiction Editor

Nicole Cicippio is a junior English major and Criminology minor from Collegeville, Pennsylvania. She is Creative Non-Fiction Editor for Vermilion, Managing Editor of Inventio, an undergraduate tutor in the Writing Center, and Marketing Manager for the History Club. Nicole loves getting lost in a good book, sneaking away to write, and the use of pathetic fallacy in literature. She also enjoys spending time with family and friends, cheering for the Philadelphia Eagles, and oat milk in her coffee. Nicole hopes to one day author a book on the shelves at Barnes and Noble. 

David Brennan

Fiction Editor

David Brennan is a senior English major who occasionally writes things.
