Dear Readers,

I hope you all had an amazing spring break! If you couldn’t tell by the title, somehow, many of our reports went on study-abroad trips. Joel, Lola, and I went to Paris, Liz went to Florence, Fatimah went to Rome, and Logan went to Jamaica. To say these trips have been transformative would be an understatement. I’ll just let everyone else show their experiences in their articles.

If you are on the fence about going abroad, I highly, highly recommend doing so. Not only do we have a world-class global studies program, but you also have one of these trips built into your tuition. You quite literally are throwing away money by not going on one of these trips so why not? It is such an amazing opportunity to be able to go abroad with (typically) no additional cost. 

We all had an amazing time and we have been incredibly excited to share our experiences on these trips. 

Before I sign off: if you’re interested in joining The Comenian please join us at our meetings, which take place every Wednesday at 5 p.m. in Zinzendorf Hall, room 100. We also have secondary meetings on Thursdays at the same time and place for people who can’t come on Wednesdays. If you cannot make it to meetings, that is fine as well! We fully allow asynchronous participation, so don’t feel scared about not making it to meetings.

We are looking for new writers, photographers, videographers, graphic designers, and more, so if any of those interest you be sure to stop by or email me at [email protected]. 

The Comenian supports a wide range of content. If you want to interview students around campus, you can. If you want to make video essays you can. If you want to make short comics, you can. Whether you want to write about news, politics, music, movies, sports, video games, food, history, or anything else, I guarantee you will have a place here.

Also, if you would like to be notified by email whenever we publish a new edition of the paper – either the online or print version – please send your address to [email protected]. We’ll add you to our email list!

That’s all from me folks! Thank you for reading our paper and be sure to check back in for future editions!

Your editor-in-chief,

AJ
