Knight to Know: Sydney Howse ’24

Hometown: Houston, Texas

Major: English - Creative Writing concentration

Minor: History

Extracurriculars: I have been the secretary of Writers' Bloc since spring 2023. I am an editor on the Quiddity staff as well as an editor and the copy-editor of Loco Mag. I have published pieces in both of these magazines.

Favorite Arcadia memory: Some of my favorite Arcadia memories involve the writing workshops that I have been a part of. I'm always most excited for these classes as throughout the semester you create close bonds with your fellow writers and professors, you get great feedback, and you meet some amazing people who go on to become good friends.

During my time at Arcadia, I was able to go abroad to Germany for a GFS course and London for a summer semester abroad. I would say these experiences are also some of my fondest memories as I learned to traverse foreign public transportation and get further outside of my comfort zone. I have some lifelong memories of these trips from getting lost in the Alps in Germany to getting to be in the audience of a British game show and even taking an impromptu trip to Edinburgh, Scotland.

Post-grad plans: I will be applying to jobs after graduation with the hope of landing something in the publishing industry. I am hoping to stay in the Philly/Glenside area as I have come to really enjoy it.
