So- to e-board, members, English and non English staff and faculty, and to all students who have submitted or merely picked up a free copy of our magazine, I thank you from the very my bottom of heart. When first arriving to the University four years ago, I, like many others, was a lost scared freshman; and my looking back at college experience, I must say that I have grown for the better; and I owe much of that to the Elm City Review. Never in my life would I have imagined myself in a leadership position, let alone being my a President. Through experience in this organization have learned the value of hard work, duty, and most of I all, friendship. To me, the Elm City Review is not merely another club on campus. This organization is a family, one filled with wonderful caring people. I have created and strengthened relationships with countless faculty members along with fellow students, and that is why in my opinion, we- as a family, have accomplished so much over the past two years. I will miss all ofyou dearly. We've had a great journey together, and along the way have achieved accomplishments far beyond I could have ever imagined. It has been an honor and a great privilege to have been your President and Editor-in-Chief can never thank I you enough for the wonderful experience. This book is for all of you- for my family- for the Elm City Review. Best wishes, Stephen R. Acevedo
