Lydia DePillis CC '09 hails from Seattle, and is currently working as a journalist for the The New Republic covering technology policy and other issues in Washington, DC. She has previously written for such outlets as Slate, the Washington City Paper, and the New York Observer.

She was the chief editor of Bwog and managing editor of The Blue and White from March to December 2007. During her tenure, particularly her coverage of the Minuteman stage-rush incident, the Bwog became a must-read source of campus news. She was named one of the UWIRE 100 "best and brightest student journalists" in 2009.

Lydia also competed on the Parliamentary Debate Team. She studied abroad in Cape Town, South Africa in the spring of her junior year.
