I started as illustration editor at The Collegian in my second year at CSU, and over these past four years, this newspaper has grown and developed alongside me, and I have had the honor to experience the talents of so many illustrators and designers who often make me question how I’m in this position — in the best way possible. The illustrators we have on our team are truly some of the most determined and creative people I have ever met. They make this newspaper so beautiful and make it feel so personal, as everyone’s style shines through.

Editor’s Note: Traditionally, graduating seniors working at The Collegian are given the chance to write a farewell note at the end of their tenure at CSU.
