Sarah Sweeney, Co-News Editor

A junior studying Applied Quantitative Finance with a minor in Computer Science, Sarah Sweeney is one of two Sarahs holding the position of Co-News Editors for The Villanovan in 2022, a position they held in 2021 as well. Sarah's article announcing the Marriage Pact's arrival at Villanova was one of the most read Villanovan articles of all time, but Sarah has covered several major University announcements as well. Sarah holds the honor of being the only Editor to have gone viral on TikTok, one of her proudest accomplishments.
