Volume 107 | Issue 1
F R O M T HE EDITOR Dear readers, I believe a new year always instills a sense of hope for the future. Even if things still feel uncertain, a fresh start is always a great feeling in my opinion. We have an opportunity to reset our mindsets and focus on new goals and aspirations. I hope all of you are able to find your goals for this new year! The feature article for this issue is about how Alpha Sigma Alpha women have adjusted in the wake of virtual education. I was very happy to see we had many responses and it is our hope that their stories will inspire and inform you of the current educational landscape (pg. 16). I also want to bring your attention to the Virtual Leadership Summit. Alpha Sigma Alpha wants to ensure we provide our collegiate members with ways to build leadership skills, even if it is in a virtual format. Tina VanSteenbergen is excellent at what she does, so I hope all of our collegiate women take advantage of this wonderful opportunity (pg. 8). Be sure to check out the upcoming Virutal Sisterhood Meetups and register by the date listed in the News and Updates section of the magazine (pg. 6). These meetups are a great way for collegians to connect with alumnae in lieu of in-person events. In closing, it is my hope that this issue is both informative and entertaining. As always, please share your feedback with us on this issue by sending an email to asa@alphasigmaalpha.org. My best,
