Who am I?
By Kelly Mendez, Editor-in-Chief
My name is Kelly Mendez (aka: McClanahan). I have been appointed to be your new Editor-in-Chief. I am a returning Student Review member. You may remember some of my articles and/or poetry that has been published in the past year's editions.
I returned to college in the fall of 2009 after an 18 year hiatus. Initially, I was looking to enter the field of Biological Science. That's right! I consider myself a science geek. After my first semester, I was drawn to become a teacher, so now I am pursuing a teaching degree. My goal is to teach high school biology at a Christian high school, but for the next year, I will be attending classes here at PSC and being the best EIC I can be. If there is anything I can do to help, ecnourage, or assist you, please feel free to concact me in the Student Leadership Center, room 1260 on the first floor, or call (708) 709-3535. I look forward to seeing you on campus.
TO ALL EDITORS AND STAFF
ALL deadline dates have a FINAL turn-in time of 3 p.m. That means if you do not have your submission in by the deadline date at 3 p.m., it will NOT be in the upcoming issue (unless arraned with me in advance). This is a deadline, which means it is the LAST day to turn items in. Please plan on turning submission in BEFORE the deadline and this will help to ensure our distribution schedule. Commitments not kept effect the paper as a whole.
Thank you for your dedication -- Kelly Mendez - EIC
