Last year when I took on the role of Arts & Life editor, I had to come up with a new intro for our weekly pitch list emails. The previous editor used “Howdy” as her greeting and while I loved it, I wanted to honor its whimsy rather than copy it directly. Instead, I went with “Ahoy.” Every week, every contributor would receive an email from me starting with that fateful word. When I left the Arts & Life editor role for content managing editor, I sent our contributors an email notifying them of the change. That email was titled “One Last Ahoy.”
This is my last issue at The DePaulia as editor-in-chief, a role I’ve held briefly but that means so much to me. This student newspaper has been the center point of my entire college career, and while I’m stepping away to pursue other opportunities, it’s still bittersweet. I’ve held five different positions at The DePaulia during my time here. With five songs to showcase on the DeJamz, I thought it was only right to attribute each one to my titles over the years. Here’s to one last ahoy.
