Letter from the Editor – Mercedes Cannon-Tran – Issue 10

What a ride this has been! I came to CSUN in January of 2021 in pursuit of a master’s degree. In my brief time here on campus, I have seen so much change and growth and even experienced some myself.
The Sundial has always been a place for creativity and comradery, and it is here I found “my people.”
Like many, I have had my fair share of hurdles to overcome on my way to graduation, and I am pleased to say the class of 2022 rose to the challenge.
In this issue, we celebrate a few of those graduates by sharing their stories in both words and pictures.
I hope the stories of challenges, heartbreak and perseverance inspire others to push on and accomplish their goals, even if they may not be graduating this spring.
It has been an honor to work so diligently and produce the magazine this semester, one that the team and I are immensely proud of.
To the class of 2022, I say well done! To anyone else still pushing on toward graduation, I say — you got this!
Though I am on to my next adventure, I shall never forget my memorable journey at CSUN.
