Letter from the Editor

If you haven’t already gathered this from the size 72 Bebas Neue text on the front page, we have devoted this academic year’s final issue to big issues — topics that are defining our generation, our city and our University.

This means we’re telling you why your professors are fighting for a union, how Pitt is carving out a home for black poets and what it’s like living at Pitt for your classmates with disabilities. To know the other topics, turn the page and zoom out with us.

That’s not to say we fit every big issue in this paper — you all need to buy ads to make that possible. So for more of our enterprise stories — including the state of health care for transgender students at Pitt and our ongoing coverage of #BlackLivesMatter and the Fight for 15 — find us at pittnews.com.

Trust me, I know thinking and reading, even breathing, might seem hard this week, and handing in Beyonce’s visual album, Lemonade, as your thesis totally seems like an A-plus idea. But struggle through it, practice some self-care and browse the paper we wrote instead of writing yours.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for letting me bring you the news for four years.

Signing off forever-ever,

Danielle Fox
