Dear readers:
Spring is a season of change. Flowers and cherry blossoms bloom across campus, and so, too, do we through our four years at Hopkins.
In this edition, our writers reflect on the idea of growth. Within these pages are hopes for the future, gratitude for the past, moments of difficulty and of triumph. “Chrysalis” celebrates authenticity — both who we are and who we are shaping up to be. We follow spring in three stages: “Incubation,” for the time that comes before growth; “Becoming,” for moments of reflection along the journey; and, finally, “Evolution,” named for celebrations of life thus far.
As you turn through these pages, we invite you to explore this idea of change and the many shapes it can take on. May this issue encourage you to embrace your own transformation and becoming.
Warmly,
Yana Mulani and Kaitlin Tan
