FROM THE EDITOR Dear Readers, I’m sure most of you are still getting used to this new lifestyle; I certainly am. Like everyone else, I miss doing fun things with my friends, family, and co-workers. As the director of communications & marketing, I can confirm that our organization’s digital canvas and footprint is much different now than it has been in the past. We are using the same tools and platforms, but have increased our time using them exponentially. Everything digital has been moving so quickly and the whole world is having to make adjustments since our in-person opportunities to communicate have greatly diminished. The increased use of digital platforms for communicating has also been helpful, especially in our fight for equality and eliminating social injustices. Alpha Sigma Alpha can do its part by remaining present and providing as many virtual opportunities and resources as possible. Alpha Sigma Alpha has reimagined how to keep all of you connected during this difficult time. Many important memories, such as graduation ceremonies, service & giving events and attending national convention, were transformed during the pandemic. This issue is meant to highlight our transition into the new normal. It is an inspiring thing to witness members overcoming these challenges and pushing on no matter what may stand in the way. I know all of you will continue reimagining your sisterhood and ways of connecting moving forward!
