Dear Readers,
This is the first of four issues for a new group of editors and readers at OxMag. As a graduate-run magazine, OxMag tends to move to the beat of the school year, but we’re always thankful for those who have come before us, and have shown us the way. So, very briefly: Many thanks to Matt Young, the previous editor-in-chief who is now safely out of the Midwest; and to his team of editors, Emily Corwin, Joe Thornton, Joe Franklin, and Nathan Schaad, for passing the mantle to us: thanks for keeping the Ox on its feet, in green pastures, and well watered.
Our new team is excited for the year to come, and very happy to be bringing forth our first issue. Matt introduced us all last issue, and we now populate the masthead, so I won’t bore you by going over that again (except to say huge props for this issue go to Jess Marshall, our digital editor, for going above and beyond to put this issue together). Besides, the good stuff is in the magazine—no sense keeping you waiting.
From in amongst the Oxen,
Evan Fackler
