Macedonio went from being a hardworking student to a leader on campus with many skills. This shows how dedicated he is and how much he thirsts for knowledge. Cameron holds pivotal roles such as General Manager of Titan Radio, Chief Campus Relations Officer of ASI and Assistant Opinion Editor of the Daily Titan.
His journey has been a tapestry of diverse experiences and meaningful encounters. He has reflected on his path, “Through this, I have learned different aspects of our world through the articles I have read. I also don’t consider myself to be a very ‘design-y’ or ‘creative’ person, but I have been able to tap more into that side of myself when it comes to editorial concepts.”
Macedonio’s involvement has cultivated his leadership skills, and he has also discovered hidden talents in design and creativity, defying preconceived notions about his abilities. As he ascended to Managing Editor of Tusk Magazine, Macedonio’s journey came full circle, a testament to the profound impact of campus engagement in shaping future leaders.

For Wright, Tusk Magazine transcends its pages, serving as a conduit for self-expression and a platform for amplifying voices on pressing issues. With each project, she and her team navigate the intricate landscape of contemporary discourse, weaving together narratives that provoke thought, evoke emotion and inspire action. Through her leadership, Wright creates a space where ideas thrive, limits fade away and creativity has endless possibilities.
In their unique ways, Macedonio and Wright represent the spirit of student leadership and creativity, embodying the ethos of their respective campuses. Their stories inspire their peers, reminding them of the transformative power of engagement and the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to dream. As they continue to navigate the labyrinth of college life, Macedonio and Wright stand as shining examples of resilience, determination and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
