After 13 weeks, 14 edited stories, 40 page designs and hours of tedious rework, Warrior Life magazine hit shelves. It is comprised of some of the most interesting stories about life from students and faculty members. The magazine not only shows the diversity on campus, but it defines life.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my most supportive advisers, Kate McLaughlin and Lori Medigovich. They gave me the confidence to run with my ideas and backed all of my decisions. Not only did they provide me with the resources needed to create the 40-page magazine, but each of them made sure the resources were at my fingertips. I would have never succeeded in creating Warrior Life without the both of them.

Next, I want to thank all the writers for their hard work and determination to write the amazing stories that made the magazine so interesting. Each writer is highly talented and team oriented, which helped make the production of the magazine run smoothly.

Lastly, a big thank you to the design team. I had the honor of working with very creative students who were part of Art 143. They worked so hard to bring each story to life through design. It was a pleasure to work so closely with them over the weeks and appreciate all the time they put into the magazine.

Warrior Life was a huge accomplishment for me this semester and I hope the entire campus will grab a copy and read it from front to back. I wish my entire publication team the best of luck in the future and I hope they will always look back on this experience with pride.
