letter from the editor

Katie Kelly, Editor

As a student here at Colorado State University in my last semester as an undergraduate studying journalism, I was invited to join in the production of a student-run magazine. The goal of this new project was to allow students to learn the intricacies surrounding the production of a magazine as well as to provide students with an opportunity to showcase their talents in a different medium. Working from scratch to produce a staff as well as completely redesigning the magazine from the original prototype, published in June, was a daunting and time-consuming task. The magazine could not have been produced were it not for the dedication of the staff that worked weekends, late nights and early mornings. The goals of the staff were to create in-depth controversial topics as well as to give an alternative viewpoint with informative stories that affect CSU’s population. With access to such a new medium, the staff and I were allowed to experiment with many different stories and photos. We hope this project will evolve over the coming years and take on a voice of its own as students with diverse backgrounds contribute to the content and production of CSU’s very own magazine. Hopefully you will enjoy reading this magazine and look forward to the next issue, hitting the racks the first day of Spring Semester 2006.


Sincerely,
