| Our second consecutive win of “most improved publication” from the Engineering College Magazines Association is testament to this. It has been a difficult process, complicated by the loss of most of our senior staff to graduation and our adviser, Roxane Gay, to another school. At the start of this year, organization was something that was not plentiful. Even hard copies of previous issues were difficult to find. Just a few short months later, due largely in part to our devoted interim adviser, Constance Walter, we have a new office, a new issue and a good number of skilled staff members. Yet this is not the conclusion of our work. We are still looking to expand and improve further. We hope to increase our circulation to include every Nebraska high school, as well as improve our budget by developing an advertising program. While our staff is at its highest numbers in years, there are still plentiful opportunities for new recruits with a variety of talents. As I was driving Assistant Editor Cecilia Orwig’s car down a pitch black interstate sans headlights, engine power, transmission or any other electrical system (see “Behind the Scenes,”), I realized: It is the people and the dedication they show that make the Blueprint special ... and I would gladly do the whole thing again next year! I hope you find this issue as interesting to read as it was to make, Frank Pribyl Blueprint editor |
