President’s Letter: Enduring Questions, Pressing Issues

"As educators, we are not to tell students what to think about politics but to help them formulate their own views while considering the best available information and most thoughtful perspectives. Our job is to keep inquiry and conversation going."

Editor’s Note: The Inaugural Digital Issue

"With this digital issue, we are able to reach any alumna/us, faculty member, student, or parent with access to the internet. It’s more than finding new ways to talk about Wesleyan and our ever-expanding global community, it’s ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the magazine. By incorporating a digital-only issue alongside two print issues a year, we hope it will be one more way for us all to connect across the miles, across the globe."
