Farewell From the Board of Editors   

When important professors left their posts, when the school made dramatic changes to the school's curriculum and programs, when rumors swirled around a move to Allston, when the International Forum was moved off campus, when the Writing Center was dissolved, when Rod Paige came to campus to speak, The Appian was there. 

Through our extensive profiles, we told our readers about amazing HGSE students and fascinating campus visitors, and through our editorial page, many got the chance to voice their opinions and share their insights. In the fall semester of 2004, we sponsored a successful forum with three education journalists from the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the Harvard Gazette.

For all of this and more, I'm very proud of the Appian team, including Laura Ax, Joanna Durham, Cenk Eyugoblu, Belinda Gomez, Eric Kinne, Julia Laughlin, Michael Lisman, David Meadow, Justin Olmanson, Lolita Paiewonsky and Jamie Schultz  in 2003-2004, and the extremely dedicated Michael Lisman and Lolita Paiewonsky in 2004-05.

The future of The Appian now rests in the hands of the next crop of students who find value in keeping the community informed and connected about events and issues important to us all.  We hope you will accept the torch we pass.
