Eliana Melmed, Class of 2021

Photographer

Eliana is a second-year in the College minoring in Media Arts and Design. (Will she ever pick a major? Stay tuned.) When she’s not busy biking from class to class, you can find her walking backwards as she leads tour groups around campus and tries not to trip over things. You might also catch her practicing her Moot Court argument, updating her bullet journal, hanging out at Hillel, or listening to a podcast. Although she will always think of Los Angeles as home, she has been enchanted by Chicago and was pleasantly surprised to find that leaves also come in red and yellow.
