Four years ago, I nervously entered my first meeting of the DU Clarion, and four years later I could not be more grateful that I made that decision. I had no idea how huge of an impact this club would have on my college career or the rest of my life, and I had no idea that I would be walking away with so many valuable skills, friendships and memories.
Working at the Clarion has truly been the most phenomenal experience. Though it hasn’t always been easy (shout out to InDesign), it has certainly been rewarding. Being the Business and Social Media Manager for the last year has been extremely valuable and unforgettable, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you.
To Taryn Allen, my incredible Editor-in-Chief and close friend:
Thank you for dragging me to that first meeting. Quite literally, none of this would have been possible without you. I have been so lucky to work beside you all these years and I am extremely thankful for all of your hard work and amazing friendship. Thank you for listening to all my complaints, bad jokes and editing every article I have written over these last four years. You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met and I can’t wait to see all the great things you do in your life.
To Grace Carson, Executive Editor extraordinaire:
Thank you for everything you have taught me. You have done an incredible job this last year and I am so grateful for all the hard work you have put into this publication. You are an amazing woman and I look forward to seeing all the kickass things you do in the future.
To Hannah Branit and Victoria Valenzuela:
After working with you both over the last year, I could not imagine anyone else taking over as Editor-in-Chief and Executive Editor. Though I can guarantee it will be frustrating at times, I know you both will do an incredible job in running this publication. Good luck and don’t be afraid to reach out with questions!
To our readers:
Thank you for all the support you have given the Clarion. Keep reading, keep commenting and keep sharing.
