As the dust settles on a new semester, the add/drop craze several weeks since passed, we’d like to welcome you back to The Eye. Whether you’re a first-time reader or a longtime friend, we want to invite you this semester to take an active role in our work.
“I’m a visual arts major, and I never did arts before I came here three years ago.”
As final papers and exams inch closer and closer, we hope this letter finds you well. We’ve prepared our last full-fledged issue of the semester, so if you find some time between cramming and more cramming, give it a read.

We’ve officially crested Bacchanal, emerging in almost one piece from an excessively long midterm season. We’re nearing the end of the semester, and the end of Volume XXVI, but we still have three more issues in the works.
