Letter from the Editor

Welcome to another issue of The Berkeley Graduate! This issue focuses on personal/professional relationships,and how we deal with our status as students, as well as sometimes wearing hats as teachers,or parents,or spouses,or singles. It should be a good read. That is the hope. That is always the hope.

Last semester,we took a good look at the Berkeley Graduate archive and noted that it is a fairly tragic thing that our older issues aren't really available to the public in the way we would like:electronic,tagged,and searchable. We are still working on that and hope to have great news for you in future issues.

However,on our way to having a nice easy to view repository of content, we have noted that maybe that is not what you want most. We wanted to make sure that you, the reader,was aware of our feedback mechanism. If you want to contact us, you can do it through the email address,berkeleygraduate@ga.berkeley.edu.

Also,being eventual tech-adopters,we have established a little web-presence on face-book, If you want to write on our anonymous wall because you’re uncomfortable emailing,that is fine too! Or if you want to be friends and have up-to-minute coverage of what we’re doing, search for “Berkeley Graduate”. It will look like the guy at the bottom of the page here.

If you would like to submit something for the Spring issue, feel free to contact us. We are pretty open-minded about submitted content and it looks like the Spring issue is going to be about our relationships with our work and the university,so things are pretty loose. We are also always
looking for reporting and copy editing talent, so if you have been having recurring dreams about being an investigatory journalist,or a yen for pulling together split infinitives, or particularly strong feelings about Oxford Commas, we would LOVE to hear from you.

As always,best wishes and keep reading!

--The Berkeley Graduate
