That's why I'm taking over President Destler's space for this one issue. When I became editor in August 2000, the magazine was just one year old. A decade later, it is still very young compared to other college magazines. For example, MIT has been publishing Technology Review Physician assistant TomGately '03 since 1899. Do the math: They got on this a 26 explains an eye exam to a patient. century beforewe did. Still, 11 years seems like a long time and we've published 32 issues. We've tried Kathy Lindsley, left, and Mindy Mozer very hard to make progress with each one. Certainly we've had plenty to tell you: RIT continues to grow, and more than a dozen important buildings have been constructed in the past decade. It's hard to imagine RIT without the Gordon Field House, for example. The physi­ cal transformation of the campus is nothing short of astonishing.
