The future The potential for D/srupt is endless. There are so many innovative and exciting thangs happening at Imperial that we could fill a magazine a month! But due to resource we are limited to one printed issue a year. To bridge this gap and reach more people we see the future of D/srupt to be both digital and physical. We would like to develop a digital D/srupt that will be sent to our current mailing list of over 5,000 on a monthly basis.
