Gigi Schweitzer, Yearbook Editor-In-Chief
A nationally award-winning photojournalist, a board member with West Linn united, and fluent in Japanese, Gigi Schweitzer is more than just the Editor-in-Chief of the Green and Gold yearbook.

While Schweitzer says she enjoys all aspects of journalism, she has a special passion for photography. “There’s something incredible about freezing those moments in time,” Schweitzer says.
