Well, this is the last article I’ll be writing for The Activist. I want to thank everyone for reading my stuff, and for all the wonderful support and feedback I’ve gotten from faculty and other students over the past year. It’s been a great opportunity and learning experience, and a pleasure serving the RWC community. Thanks and have a great summer.
