Editor’s Note
As the Editor of the Ex Umbra I have learned so much in so little time. The
greatest lesson I have learned is that hard work and perseverance make a
better person and produce a greater product.
This issue of the Ex Umbra was a joy to take part in. It is like having a child
and watching it develop to the form of birth. This issue seemed as if it would
be hard to get flowing at first, but as time progressed, I was able to see the
creativity of the Eagles who chose to submit their work for all to see their
talent. Thank you for all your submissions because without them, there would
be no Ex Umbra.
To the students who are reading this issue, I encourage you to sit back and let
the words from each work speak to you in a deep and meaningful manner. —
For those of you who did not submit and want to, think of all the joy that your
hidden talent could bring to someone who may read your words. |
This issue of the Ex Umbra was put together with the help of a few, fellow
Eagles. Ik now when you start naming people, you sometimes leave someone
out, but I will take my chances this one time. Jeannette Manigan, Marquis
Jackson, Dominic McCarthy, Erica Hall, and Deborah Watkins; these are the —
students who gave an encouraging word, helped to hang a flyer, and read
through the submissions.
I would also like to thank Dr. Andrew Williams for his encouragement.
