Volume 107 | Issue 2
F R O M T HE EDITOR Dear readers, After a long winter, the start of warm weather in Indiana is one of the best feelings for me. Many people, myself included, suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) from the cold weather and having to be inside most of the time. When the weather improves and I am able to be outside more often, it feels as if a weight has been lifted and a sense of refreshment instills. The feature article for this issue is about the beauty of nature (pg. 16). While I enjoy nature year-round, I especially admire it in the spring. Now is a good time to reflect on how the beauty of nature can make a positive impact in your life. When we take the time to acknowledge this, it allows us to truly appreciate the natural beauty around us. This has been especially true for me during the pandemic and it is an excellent way for me to escape from day-to-day life and stress. I also recommend learning about mental health and one of the initiatives Alpha Sigma Alpha has to offer for members (pg. 12). Behind Happy Faces is a great program for collegians and brings mental health to the forefront of our initiatives. I believe it is important that we focus on our well-being and acknowledge the state of our mental health on a regular basis. I hope everyone enjoys all that spring and the upcoming summer months have to offer in nature. As always, please share your feedback with us on this issue by sending an email to asa@alphasigmaalpha.org. My best,
