ARTICHOKE
LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF WINTERS, IT HAS been one hell of a ride. I have met so many of you. I have been a part of the team here at The Artichoke for the past two years and I know I am going to miss it. I have helped create this thing that so many of you read (and thank you for that) but now I think it is time to say goodbye. Not forever but for now. Thank you to my wonderful team, Laura and Brianna, for putting up with me when I went off schedule or shifted things around last minute. I could not have done this without you both. Thank you so much for taking initiative on projects and being so flexible and innovative for the readers. Thank you to my writers, for without you we would not have anything to publish. You are the people that make this magazine worth publishing. With that, thank you also to the wonderful design team that make our submissions look amazing. You are small but mighty and I appreciate everyone of you. There is a saying about March: in like a lion, out like a lamb. As this is our March/April issue, I am going to extend that into April. To everyone graduating this year, you all came in as lambs, not sure what to expect, but ready
for anything, and you will be leaving York a lion. Wear this with pride, for you have seen so much and endured so much over your time here. You deserve it. It is with this parting thought that I say goodbye to you all. I hope you continue to read and contribute to our little publication.
Thank you for this amazing year, Katherine Collier
