Crystal Li, Editor-in-Chief
Crystal Li joined The Tower in her freshman year when she moved from Shanghai to San Diego in 2019. Now a senior, she fondly looks back on the four-year career she had on staff and hopes to continue sharing her love of journalism with everyone on campus. Her favorite part of The Tower is, needless to say, the close-knit family, but also the great variety of snacks present at every layout afternoon. When academic responsibilities find ways to overwhelm her, she finds comfort in the process of writing—especially journaling at night or venturing out to pursue her personal investigative projects. However, when school is just roughly manageable, she loves traveling (to see family and friends), absolutely dominating in foosball, saving cat memes (I know, they’re very cute!), and exploring the “thriller” genre under the movie section. If you see her around campus, feel free to say hi!
