Happy 2023! 

This year feels like it’s going by extremely fast, but there’s still a lot more to do and read–we have two more issues and a surprise coming near you! 

The issue you have in your hands came together under three main ideas: the start of a new semester, celebrating Black History Month and looking forward to Valentine’s Day. Our team worked tirelessly, even over winter break, to put together the quality content you get to read. 

Our journalists are finding their beats, adding to the high standard we hold ourselves to. We have consistent columns that are continuing or just beginning and our graphics game has risen exponentially.  

If you are passionate about a specific topic you want to write about, we would love for you to be part of our team. Stay on the lookout for announcements about our next pitch meeting. 

The rest of our year includes a spring issue, a [REDACTED] and our coveted end of year issue. 

Stay strong Blue Dukes, we’re almost at the finish line!
