Hi everyone! As the end of the semester approaches, it’s time for another Staff of the Week: our Art Editor, Lila. Lila is a sophomore with a major in Politics and Government and a minor in Art History. She has been involved in Crosscurrents for a little over a semester and has loved being a part of the magazine’s community. As a fun fact, Lila published a digital drawing in Highlights magazine when she was six, so if you’re ever sifting through old magazines, be on the lookout for a drawing of a bunch of anthropomorphized ants eating lunch in a cornfield.

Hi everyone! As online classes get into full swing and everything in the world remains shut down, we want to let you know that WE STILL PLAN TO PUBLISH THE MAGAZINE THIS SEMESTER. We are looking into making this semester’s edition digital so all of you can have access to it despite not being on campus, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, keep creating!
