Working on another SCE issue takes me back to my first semester working with Washington College Review. I jumped right into editing with a joint math and music thesis that impressed me with its ability to express such complex concepts so clearly. I knew so little about math and music, but spending time carefully reading a peer’s work introduced me to new perspectives and information.

Discovering new pieces of the topics our community loves to study is my favorite part of working for WCR. Students in each discipline do amazing research and analysis here at Washington College, and I’m so glad that seniors across nine majors were able to share their work with the campus community in the senior thesis issue of Volume XXXI.

No matter what discipline interests you most, I invite you to explore something new in this issue! I’ve loved discovering new ways that my favorite fields of study exist in conversation with each other, and I hope that you will too.

As always, I am so grateful for the amazing work of WCR‘s contributors and staff. Thank you to everyone who submitted their SCE to this issue; the community, craft, and exploration WCR offers would not be possible without you! To my fellow editors, Logan Monteleone and Jessica Kelso, thank you for your insights, ideas, and hours of careful edits–and for making staff meetings so much fun.
