Sivaramakrishnan Natarajan
Associate Editor
At the end of December, Levin graduated from his Post degree in Petroleum Engineering. Caper Times was very happy for Levin, but sad to see him go. He was able to put in a lot of good work here and has been missing dearly each day since his departure.
At the end of December, previous Associate Editors Ashin Wilfy and Victoria Jackson stepped up to be Co-Editors of the Caper Times.
Our goal remained to continue with Levin’s vision to make Caper Times a voice who advocated for students and ensured they felt heard.
However, this left an open position of associate editor and reporter which were filled by Sivaramakrishnan ‘Kris’ Natarajan. He was a welcome addition to the team, bringing his expertise in photography. Kris did a fantastic job while here at Caper Times, writing up some great articles on athletics and campus life here at CBU.
