The final Daybreak issue (ever?)
Good morning and happy LDOC, Kellogg! Today's intro is coming to you from your Daybreak Editor-in-Chief Natalie Ragland (2Y '22) and I'm bringing y'all some good news and bad news...
Let's start with the good...
First, I'd like to share what a delight Daybreak has been to work on over the last two years of my Kellogg experience. It not only has provided opportunities to share stories of incredible individuals, groups and initiatives within the Kellogg community but has also been a fun and creative outlet (in what at times can be a stressful MBA environment).
Next, I'd like to thank the people who helped make Daybreak happen every (school) day. Behind the scenes as our Features Editor has been Monica Chen (2Y '22). Monica, I can't express how much I appreciate you adding Daybreak to your extensive and impressive list of Kellogg extracurriculars. You are the only person I know who can stay up until 1:30 a.m. working on an issue and then go for a 6-mile run in the morning. Thank you so much for all you've done this year!
I would also like to highlight some Kellogg Leaders and friends who stepped up throughout the year to write features, track down cover photos, brainstorm story ideas and provide support. Thank you to Ellen Perlmutter-Gumbiner (2Y'22), Caroline Counts (2Y '22), Addie Spencer (2Y'22), Eric Leimkuhler (2Y'22) and Emma White (JV '23) for all of your generous efforts and hard work. Some issues truly wouldn't have made it out without you all.
Now for the bad...
Sadly, we don't have a staff to succeed us and take over Daybreak next year. As a student-led newsletter, Daybreak relies on students to carry it forward year after year. Without a staff, there will not be a Daybreak to wake up to come next fall.
I ask those of you who found joy in waking up to Daybreak to please consider stepping up so it can continue to be a bright spot in starting each day at Kellogg. If you are interested or have questions about how to get involved, please reach out to me or Monica.
As the subject line reads, I sincerely hope that today's issue is just a "see you later" and not a goodbye. I feel lucky to have been a part of it either way.
Thank you,
Natalie
