About Issue 07: Love excites us, strengthens us, supports us in times of need, and brings us together. In this issue, we feature diverse accounts of love from our contributing students and alumni. From stories of their first love and crushes to spicy romance, these stories add up to what love means in each and every one of us.

This issue came about as we were in the season of love. Over 300 copies of the publication set were distributed.



The main publication features interviews, questionnaires, and work about love.


The mini zine features bracelets and other work made at workshops


We created “secret admirer” boxes and set them up around campus to collect anonymous notes from students.


At the release party, publications and custom tote bags were distributed.
