Dear Students,

As the end of the Fall 2014 semester comes to an end, we are being forced to reflect on the semester’s accomplishments.

We feel very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful university and college community. Western Illinois University – Quad Cities has supplied so much room for growth and space for experience in the duration of the fall semester, including the launch of The Edge.

Since our launch, The Edge has been consistently supplying newsworthy and entertaining articles to the student body and creating a space for students’ work to be displayed. As we welcome the Spring semester, we will be welcoming new students, new staff members and more opportunities for The Edge to grow. You are all welcome to be a part of this expansion.

Thank you for following us, engaging with us and giving us meaning. Without readers, The Edge would be non-existent.

We look forward to another successful semester in the Spring of 2015.

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Kasi DeFrieze
Editor-In-Chief
