Editor's Letter

Welcome to a new edition of The Passport online magazine!

Nearly unceasing activities have kept The Passport staff busy for the last two semesters. Many thanks to Wilson Paine, and Nicole Young, as well as all the entire Passport staff for their continued help and support in designing and creating articles for this new updated Passport webzine. The entire Passport staff would like to express our appreciation to Associate Dean Dr. Frederic Torimiro. Without his help and guidance, this edition would not have been possible.

The last two semesters have seen The Passport office move to a new location in Roberts Hall, and we are excited to be in a new permanent location. This edition of The Passport is a culmination of several semesters of design and writing, and we are excited to be able to offer the updated Passport website and the new digital format. Also, in this particular edition of The Passport, we have all written stories that are of interest to us, or of experiences we have had. Therefore, we hope that you will enjoy reading them and find them thought provoking as well as insightful.

We are excited to be able to share this new issue of The Passport with you our audience, and we hope you enjoy it. We encourage you to contact us with any and all comments and questions concerning this issue or any of the topics that we have discussed.

I hope you enjoy the new and revised Passport website!
