Elizabeth Karpen (Columbia Barnard ‘22)
Elizabeth Karpen is a freshman Barnard College, the most fuego of women’s colleges, studying Political Science and Economics.

She will argue with you anywhere, anytime, even if you are arguing on the same side. If you do want to possibly argue with her, you can email her at [email protected] (compliments are also appreciated because she loves a good ego boost).
