Dear Sharks,
As final exams are taken and the South Florida wind gets a bit chillier each day, we see the end of the fall semester draw to a close. For all of us at The Current, it has been an eventful one, to say the least.
Almost all of our staff is new to the journalism grind, while, of those of us returning, some of us have new positions— like us, your Co-Editors-in-Chiefs Madelyn and Christina, former news and opinions editors respectively. It’s been a huge adjustment for all of us to get into the groove of our new staff, positions and what that means for the newspaper.
We would like to thank everyone involved with The Current for keeping this semester’s issues successful. We wouldn’t be able to do it without the articles and support from all of our editors, managers, assistants, contributing writers and practicum students. And a special thanks our advisors, Michelle Manley and Megan Fitzgerald-Dunn, who have dealt with our late night text messages, early-morning emails and any other issues we’ve encountered with unwavering support and encouragement.
Additionally, we need to give an enormous shout-out to our Chief of Visual Design, Carli Lutz. Carli will be finishing her degree in graphic design from NSU this December, after spending a large chunk of her undergraduate career here at The Current. She has seen countless issues, designed hundreds of graphics and supported many editors and Co-Editors-in-Chiefs throughout her tenure. The spirit of The Current will be a little bluer without her words of encouragement, love of corgis and clockwork-like proof emails, but she has given us the courage and love we need to carry on. We’ll miss you Carli, and wish you the best in all of your future endeavors!
Finally, we need to thank you— our readers. Without you, all of us at The Current wouldn’t be able to continue the job and passion we all love. We can’t wait to see what the next half of the year has in store for all of us, and we’re eager to keep on reporting on everything NSU. We hope you enjoy your— likely much needed— winter break!
See you soon,
Madelyn & Christina
