Aurora Magazine 2019

Letter From the Editor You just picked up the 149th issue of Aurora. This is an amazing achievement. This year our staff have reached into their hearts and found pieces that are not only beautiful visually or textually, but ones that we believe challenge readers to think about the world around them. I hope that this issue will lay the groundwork for a truly inspiring 150th issue. In that regard, I give you, our reader, a challenge. Whether you are a current student, graduate student, alumni/ae, faculty, staff, or Sister of Providence submit your work to Aurora. Show us all what you think of the world we live in and challenge those around you to think about how we are all different. I hope that from this issue onward, Aurora can inspire and spark conversations about what is going on in our world and bring us to action. I thank our amazing staff for their hard work this year. There was so much more soul put into Aurora everyday because of each of our editors. They have weaved and worked at creating this magazine in hopes that you will see how much value we put in individuals here at SMWC. I also want to thank each of our contributors. Without your willingness to showcase yourself to us this great collection of art and writing would not be here. Thank you all for an amazing year, on to the next!

Elizabeth Boyer, Editor-in-Chief
