A Letter from the Editor...

Thank you for reading through our fifth Fray edition, our After Hours issue. Over the past year, the organizing team has worked day and night to transform the culture of Fray within our team and across campus. We are proud to say that this issue, After Hours, is unequivocally the biggest and best publication yet. We have nearly one hundred collaborators across twelve unique, yet connected, projects ranging from written pieces to videos to thought provoking photo shoots.

This year, we have hosted soirees and parties and pop-up events to connect students across campus through a mutual love of fashion and desire for sustainable shopping. After Hours represents our first ever print issue, a sign of resilience through the pandemic and a continued desire to spread Fray’s art throughout Wesleyan.

After Hours has been a bittersweet experience for me. I have been involved in every issue of Fray – from our first publication to Bacchanalia to Recess to Regeneration and now, After Hours. I have watched the community change and grow and become a family of creatives on campus. I am grateful for the organizers before me, who laid the groundwork and created this magazine, and I am most grateful for the current organizers, Anika, Xandra, Siggy, Victoria, and Mia, for being the strongest, funniest, and most creative group of people at Wesleyan. I cannot wait to see what you do with Fray next year and the year after. I also cannot wait to see what the new iteration of Wesleyan students bring to Fray. I will be rooting for you all -- and reposting every Fray story -forever. Always grateful for this community.
