What a year it has been! As always Aurora is a magazine this campus can take pride in and the magazine’s role as a 147-year- old tradition is no small feat. As this year’s editor, I am proud to present Aurora’s new look. Sometimes change is a beautiful thing, and this is no exception. I and the entire Aurora staff would like to thank those who have submitted work to the magazine. Without you, this magazine would never have happened. Without further ado, I would like to welcome you to this year’s issue of Aurora Literary Arts Magazine! Nyctasia Fitton, Editor-in Chief
