Dear Reader,

 

This semester has brought an early winter to Hamilton’s campus. As we battle with InDesign to create the layout for Suture’s 16th edition, a wintry mix of rain and snow cascades down outside, making us grateful to be warm and dry inside KTSA. 

 

Whether you’re a freshman finishing your first semester, a sophomore coasting through your second year, a junior getting ready to go abroad or coming back from a far away place, or a senior grinding through thesis work—thank you for picking up this publication. Our editors and writers have put in so much work and time to get this edition into your hands. 

 

We hope you learn something new from the following essays, and, as always, please enjoy. 

 

Happy reading, 

Katie & Julia
