Publisher's Note
Since our last issue was published in July for Summer/Fall 2022, so much has happened within the Journalism Department that deserves the campus' attention Our first Pulitzer Center Fellow, Ms Jacqueline Kamei, traveled to Washington, D.C., where she had the unique opportunity to present her research in front of journalists and other fellows
Our second Pulitzer Center Fellow, Ms Brittany Klintworth, has begun her research into the intersection of women and the garment industry, and an interdisciplinary pilot research symposium (the first of its kind) is getting off the ground thanks to a SIG campus award You can read about these achievements in this magazine And lots more!

This Spring/Summer 2023 issue of The Insider features articles on GCC's new Parker Award recipient, alumnus Andy Reid's Super Bowl victory, fare-less transportation for college students, GCC's women's basketball successes, low fare for Glendale residents, and a piece on a successful author alumna who fondly recalls her GCC days
Journalism sits under the banner of Language Arts, enjoying support from our esteemed division and colleagues This magazine would not be possible without support from the Division Chair, Lourdes Girardi It is an enormous undertaking, one that is made up of student work That requires several editing attempts There is also the design-element, which includes laying out the magazine. It takes a great many days. So, if you encounter one of the students listed in the "staff" portion, please give them kudos
I would also like to thank my co-founder of the Pulitzer Center, Michelle Stonis, for helping to train our students and prepare them to research gender-oriented topics, and Sarah McLemore, for her collaboration on events, including on the upcoming Symposium that is open to all of GCC
As always, you are warmly invited to submit photos, columns and story ideas. While this magazine can't cover everyone and is only one issue, the goal is always to touch on as many facets of campus life as possible in each publication
Thank you for your continued support and for reading this magazine
