You have done such a wonderful job setting the tone for such a wonderful magazine--and my favorite alumni magazine! You've always ensured that WSQ embodies both the University's tradition and its progress, from its staff, students, buildings, programs and overall campus...not a small task, and one you made look effortless. Best wishes to you, Sylvia!
