DICHOTOMY 17: EXCHANGE

This year, the staff of Dichotomy is excited for new beginnings. The last time a Dichotomy was published was in 2006, the year before I was a freshman at the University. Today, thanks to the hard work of our small but dedicated staff, and their countless hours of sacrifice, the journal is on a new, more sustainable path. With a fresh new layout, and standards for future years that allow for exciting new content and quicker production, you, the reader of Dichotomy can expect many more great issues of our journal.
