Thank you from The News-Letter

As the 2022-2023 academic year comes to a close, we would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped The News-Letter throughout our return to print production and our first “normal” year since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the much-appreciated support and feedback we received from Hopkins students, faculty, staff and other community members, we would like to give special shoutouts to:

J.B. Bird, Curtis Brown, Amanda Colaianni, Jaclyn Fuller, Rachelle Hernandez, Mike Joseph, Nichole Mukoda, Nadine Shepherd and Kevin Shollenberger.

Our Professional Advisory Board, The News-Letter alumni network, Homewood Undergraduate Giving, the Alumni Development Office and the University Archives.

Allison Avolio, our former advisor, who gave us a lot of support and guidance throughout the year with the logistics for print. We know she will accomplish amazing things at her new job.

Sam Fossum, Ben Schwartz, Sarah Y. Kim and Morgan Ome for providing our staff with valuable insight into the world of professional journalism through our journalism speaker series.

Jacob Took, Kelsey Ko and Alyssa Wooden, alumni of The News-Letter, for taking the lead on rebuilding our alumni network.

Spotlight Media Labs and its CEO, Tamer Morsy, for their continued support in increasing the paper’s readership by providing another digital platform.

And, of course, thank you to our readers and donors because there would be no student journalism at Hopkins without you. 

Last but certainly not least, we would like to applaud all of the time and effort that our dedicated editors and staff have put into the paper this year. They spent many long nights in the Gatehouse with a pizza slice in one hand and a computer mouse in the other, battling with Adobe InDesign and tight deadlines. We cannot thank them enough for their commitment to The News-Letter. 

See you all next year! 

Molly Gahagen, Michelle Limpe, Yana Mulani and Abbie Tuschman 

Editors-in-Chief 2022-23 and 2023-24
