2 KEY MAGAZINE | Spring 2015 Letter from THE EDITOR

Dear Readers,

Another school year is coming to a close and my time as editor of Key is ending as well. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and the experiences I have been lucky enough to have. I have met and worked with some amazing people and can’t wait to see where the magazine goes. I’m currently a junior so I will be around next year as a member of the Key Magazine staff.

This semester has been a whirlwind. Below freezing temperatures and EDITOR snow, successful winter athletics, planning and execution of events Lily Bartell like Dance Marathon, Bikes for Tikes and Not In Our Town Week just to name a few. This campus is always coming up with new and improved ASSISTANT EDITOR Audrey Quinn ways to create diversity, inclusion, and all in all a great deal of fun.

WRITERS One particular campus event that was influential for me this semester Lily Bartell was BG4Unity. I had the opportunity to be at the forefront of the Hannah Benson Jasmine Burnett campaign in Dr. Hanasono’s class. It opened up the floodgates of Patricia Holt conversation, inclusion, and diversity on campus. I truly feel the Elena Lancioni campaign helped shape the atmosphere of this semester on campus Jackie Luedkte Kelly Naylor and I really suggest you all check out BG4Unity’s Facebook and Twitter Audrey Quinn pages and get involved! Holly Shively

I want to thank my assistant editor, Audrey Quinn, my writers, COPY EDITORS photographers, and faculty advisors for everything they have done for Lily Bartell Audrey Quinn me and for the magazine this semester and this year.
