About Ed on Campus at Syracuse

Started in 2003 by Cheryl Brody (now the VP of Events & Campus Life of Ed2010 on the national level), the Syracuse University Ed2010 chapter is the largest in the country. In the past, SU Ed2010 has hosted events featuring Gloria Steinem, career advice guru Lindsey Pollak, Glamour’s Sunny Sea Gold, and Style.com’s Candy Pratts Price, to name a few.

Upcoming Events:

Friday, Feb 5: Anna Holmes, EIC of Jezebel.com
Ed’s going to introduce you to the writer who launched Jezebel.com in May 2007, one of Gawker’s most successful blogs that covers everything about NYC the major magazines won’t. Holmes calls her blog site the antidote to the “five big lies” of women’s magazines. Jezebel writers cover “women’s issues” in the blog’s signature feisty voice. Come learn what Holmes got right: the site attracts more than 12 million visits each month and was Gawker’s most successful launch. And get the inside scoop on why Holmes left positions at Entertainment Weekly, Star Magazine, Glamour and InStyle to go full-time Online. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet this Web-savy EIC!

March 5: Megan McCafferty
New York Times bestselling author of the Jessica Darling series and freelancer

  • Ashlee Davis

    Ashlee Davis, Ed’s co-president, is a senior Magazine Journalism major, minoring in Political Science and Communications and Rhetorical Studies. Ashlee heard through the grapevine that Ed was hot stuff at the beginning of her freshman year. She served as web editor last year and just can’t get enough!

    On campus, Ash gets around. This semester, she’s entertainment editor for The Student Voice and managing editor of What the Health. She has written for What the Health, 20 Watts, 360, Zipped, and the Daily Orange. She is also an editorial assistant at the Syracuse University Press.

    Ashlee spreads Ed love from ‘Cuse to NYC. She interned for Marie Claire’s Web site this past summer, Us Weekly magazine in the summer of 2008 (love interviewing those celebs!), and M magazine in the summer of 2007.

On the Hill she works as a senior editor and writes for What the Health Magazine and has freelanced for The Student Voice and Zipped.

Event Recap

Tanner Stransky Visits SU

Tanner Stransky joined the SU Ed Chapter for a little snackage, celebrity dishing, and helpful internship and career advice.

Tanner started the Ed-on-Campus chapter during his senior year at Drake University. He interned in Meredith Publishing’s (their HQ is in Iowa, where DU is located) custom publishing department, was an ASME intern for Teen People. Post grad, he started working hourly at OnDirectTV magazine (akin to TV Guide). He simultaneously worked at the New York Post (a job he found through Ed2010!) in the dating (“Meet Market”) and weddings section.

Do you see a pattern yet? Tanner always knew he wanted to work for a celebrity/entertainment rag, so he continuously wrote pop culture-related articles to build a portfolio of clips. He was set on Entertainment Weekly from the beginning; he had a kick ass interview after senior year, but didn’t get the job. Undeterred, he found a reason to e-mail his contact at the mag every couple of months to touch base and keep himself fresh in her mind.

Event Recap

Christine Quinlan Visits SU

Christine Quinlan actually came to magazines from an unlikely place: she started as a portfolio manager and equity analyst.

“I moved to NYC and no apartment and no job and I just hoped for the best,” she said. Quinlan took classes through MediaBistro to learn more about the communications industry and at Parsons. To support herself, she also worked as a florist and interned at two Italian food magazines.

She then started at Food & Wine as an Editorial Assistant to the Managing Editor. She explained that there are three different types of EAs: assistant to the EIC (kind of like a personal assistant), assistant to the Managing Editor (who focuses on the budget and staffing, and doesn’t write very much), and assistants in specific departments.
