Vagabond Multilingual Journal Spring 2013 | Page 4

Letter From the Editors What started out last fall semester as a diverse group of bright faces eager to jump into something new has ended the year as an experienced staff incredibly dedicated to this wonderful publication, and through that dedicated to promoting the diversity and brilliance that makes UC Berkeley the wonderful school that it is. Vagabond, to us, is the quintessential representation of what makes our public education here great; in the pages of this magazine, you will find the diverse voices and styles of both undergraduates and graduates from a variety of universities, coming together from different experiences to create this Spring 2013 issue of Vagabond centered around feelings of passion - such as love, loss, yearning, and loneliness. These pieces are written in languages from all corners of the world, and we invite you to read and enjoy each of them, and encourage you to read those that you can in their original languages. Grazie mille per tutto e buon viaggio! Merci pour tout et bon voyage! From your editors, Gigi Gilbert-Igelsrud Uriel Mendoza 4
