We both started at Untold as contributors in Spring 2019, and since then we have climbed the editorial ladder and learned so much along the way. With all the experience and knowledge we had, we were so excited to see how the magazine would unfold, even before the semester started. We had a list of article ideas by the first day of school, and couldn’t wait to table at the Org Fair, to talk to students about Untold. Even with COVID-19 and social distancing in place, we wanted to make genuine connections with staff and with the rest of campus. We wanted others to be just as excited and enthusiastic about the magazine as we were.

Hiring staff and contributors was such a joy: we found so many folks who were just as excited as we were (and they found us too), even though things looked a bit different this semester. Our hired staff brought in great ideas and passion to build the magazine. The development of this issue has not been without its challenges. There were no late-night editing meetings in our office and there won’t be a launch party. Regardless, our staff’s enthusiasm was overflowing, agreeing to brainstorm over video calls and collaborate on their documents. The commitment to the magazine has been overwhelming and has brought us immense fulfillment.

In this issue we’ve compiled an array of stories from across Hamline. There are stories of truth, hardship, selfexpression, and joy. Getting to see them grow from small nuggets to full-grown articles has been such an absolute pleasure and gift. We are so proud of the end result of this magazine and can’t wait for you to read through and see what has been created for our Fall 2020 issue of Untold Magazine!

Sincerely, Ally Gall and Kat McCullum
