issue 27

Alum Samantha Leigh '19 is featured in The Chief for her contributions to campus waste management, and published a paper to clear up compost confusion. Dr. Ellen Flournoy shares some highs and lows from the work of her Rhetoric class as they create a catchy "No More Garbage" video. And more. So much more.

This is our last issue until the July Special, and in the Fall we’ll be back in biweekly action when campus fills up with our awesome students and faculty. A big thank-you to all our dedicated readers!

See you soon.
