LETTER EDITOR FROM THE
COVER PHOTO BY THUNDER POWELL
Dear Reader,
As my time as Editor in Chief draws to a close, I’m both happy that my picture won’t be in any more magazines and saddened that I won’t get to read firsthand these great articles. It’s been a year since I’ve stumbled into an amazing position and E-Board, and I am so happy to have had the pleasure of doing so. I decided that for my last outing as Editor, our theme would be Millennials, because well, WE ARE MILLENNIALS. Sure, the term is vague and can apply to many, but us college students are at the forefront, from the website Betches Love This, to dating online, our entire existence has changed since the generation before us. I for one am happy, I love thinking about the changes to come with such an empowered and unshaken generation at the helm of things. Nothing quite captures this as the talent evident in these pages. These writers are this generations movers and shakers, and an uplifting bunch to get together with every week. I leave my time as Editor with a deep connection to what was at the starting, a daunting organization, a place that has shaped my time at Cornell. As my senior year looms ever so widely over everything I do, I want to take this opportunity to thank you and all the Slopers for making me love Cornell as much as I do. I am confident that my successor will reflect this love and zeal with everything she does. Whether you’re reading this because the cover attracted you, or because you just love Slope, know that a piece of my Cornell experience rests in these pages, do with that what you will, just enjoy and let yourself figure out who you are! Sincerely, Leela Chantrelle
