A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Readers,

First and foremost, I’d like to thank the unbelievably hardworking GAM Team. Charlotte Podeszwa and Gemma Savitz-Vogel will be carrying this magazine forward but have already succeeded in making this club a campus-wide brand name. That being said, this publication is its community; our layout designers, models, writers, photographers, stylists, editors, and readers contribute immensely to GAM’s survival. Without all of you, there would be no GAM!

To the Layout Team: I am eternally grateful for the dedication and support you all showed this academic year. You were the team that created GAM’s first-ever zine. Your creativity continues to shine through in the pages each of you curates.

Since its inception in 2021, Gray Area Magazine has been a creative platform for Connecticut College students to see their ideas come to life; I founded this organization to highlight those student voices. Over the course of two years, I worked to earn the community’s trust and ultimately watched as the magazine began to blossom. We’ve produced marvelous issues, hosted convivial soirées, and, most importantly, consistently welcomed more members onto our team. I am beyond proud of how far GAM has come, but I cannot wait to see what its future holds.

Kendrick Hawkins Editor-in-Chief
