And finally, for the Grant Magazine Seniors who have dedicated their year to bring you this magazine.
I, David Austin, the advisor and long-time nagging voice against Grant Magazine seniors, do hereby make the following requests of the graduating seniors of this fine publication. To wit, they are as follows:
Hunter Stewart: Continue to impart your wisdom, work ethic and overall understanding of the human condition to the whole world. Your passion, your insight and your ethics in journalism help to shed light on the things that don’t always help others. If more people could be like you, the world would be a much better and smarter place. You have a strong heart and a tireless soul. Do good with them. And don’t forget to come back to magazine once in a while to help a brutha out! #newschool
Koji Wieber: Use your analytical skills to make a difference in the lives of others. I’ve never had a magazine student come close to matching your precision, accuracy and dedication to the craft. For you, it has always been about the work and about the magazine’s standards. You never make it personal. I watch how far you have come and you most definitely are a Grant Mag role model of excellent regard. Can’t wait to see how far you go at American U.
Cade May: Keep blazing the path about making it cool to be smart AND black. No one can take away from you what you’ve earned in the world of academics. No one at Grant can top your acceptance record — Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, Berkeley, UCLA and more. And then the pick: Stanford U. Put “The Farm” on your back, my brutha, and do what you have to do to make everyone notice. I look forward to watching you rise!
Cassie Hill: Keep developing your confidence. Do NOT stop moving forward on all the things you figured out this year. For me, your success is personal — you have “suffered” through four years of this magazine. And your talent is all over it. Be bold and remember to define who you are and who you will become. It’s not bragging if you can do it. I’m very proud that you are heading to Emory. Take in all the wisdom, blaze your own trail. After all, it’s yours, no one else’s.
Amelia Morrison: Find your center. Chart your course. And go. You have qualities that bring people together and make them think. You care about the well being of the team. And your voice has a lot more power than you give yourself credit for. Always speak up and out. And remember to dive in feet first. Have confidence. And come back to tell us all about your next adventure.
Amber Burkhart: Don’t lose your reflex to question everything in front of you. You can only get answers if you ask the tough questions. Your skill at gathering things in, condensing them and coming up with a story that helps make a difference has served our readers well. Figure out, while you travel, what your next steps will be. I know you won’t be afraid to make a big splash.
