Lowe and Santo will preside over the independent daily publication of The Dartmouth, inheriting a staff of more than 200 undergraduate students.
Lowe hails from West Hartford, Conn., and is majoring in economics and double-minoring in French and government. She is a member of Sigma Delta sorority and plays for the Dartmouth Women's Club Lacrosse team. She has written for the News section of The Dartmouth since her freshman fall.
"I think it's pretty hard to be saying goodbye to the [Class of 2009], but I can't say enough about the talent and commitment of all the [members of the Class of 2010] of the Directorate," Lowe said.
Santo, a native of Queens, N.Y., is double majoring in government and economics. He is a member of Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity and participates in Dartmouth's Student World Assembly. He was a staff reporter on the News section of The Dartmouth during his freshman year, and moved to the Business side his sophomore year.
"The outgoing directorate has definitely paved the way for us to make improvements where we see fit," Santo said. "We have a lot of big ideas. But we can't do it without a great staff because it really is a group effort."
