Letter from the Editor: Thank You and What’s Next…
Dear Crossover readers,
Thank you so much for taking time to enjoy The Crossover this year. I have now been Editor in Chief for three years, and I’m immensely proud of the work that has been produced for this publication.
I am happy to share that The Crossover will live on through a rising Editor in Chief, Kelley Lebahn.
Kelley has some amazing ideas and goals to bring to The Crossover later this year. She is a Professional Writing major at Champlain with a concentration in Editing and Publishing and a minor in Public Relations. She came onto The Crossover staff ready to go, and she has published some truly great work as a first-year student.
I also would like to take this time to hear from Eric Banks, a dedicated staff writer on The Crossover who has written for the publication for the past four years:
It truly has been a pleasure to write for The Crossover throughout my time at Champlain. Our publication has helped me grow immensely as a writer and allowed me to share my love of film well beyond my letterboxd profile. I’m immensely grateful to anyone who read any of my reviews and just as grateful to Haley for giving me the freedom to write what I was passionate about. Thank you all for making my time on The Crossover staff so enjoyable.
I hope you will continue enjoying our publication, and remember that you can always tip us off!
Sincerely,
Haley Seymour
Editor in Chief

I have followed your work, Haley, as you went through your time as editor. You have continued to grow in your abilities, which were considerable in high school, and now have advanced to cover the more complex topics in the college realm. As well, you and your writers have not shrunk from challenges presented by those who might appear to have more power than you! HOORAY! To present a factual appraisal of a situation, and then, often, in the appropriate role, to suggest needed action based on those facts, from YOUR stance, is what journalism is all about. I am very proud to have been a small part of your education. Speak truth to power!
