Well instead of saying "Hi guys," I guess this one is goodbye. It's been a great year, and I feel like I have grown not only as a student, but as a person. This year was full of changes- both personally and generally. We gained a new president, made steps to end the economic downturn, reversed the ban on stem cell research, and there is only more to come. As we progress as a society, I only hope that PhilaU will continue to evolve as well. There are so many aspects where we are stuck in the past, and need to charge forward.  Studios should remain open to suit the students' needs, and StyleLine needs to progress to a full on fashion magazine. As a design school, we should have a respectable fashion newsletter. In addition, there need to be more activities and organizations geared toward business students and students of other majors, who are not in design, like myself. I can only hope that while myself and my friends are studying abroad this fall, the University will continue to evolve. Since we will be away, it's up to PhilaU's
