History

The magazine was launched in the spring of year 2007 . Over the course of time, the magazine has been steadily refined with regards to its content and appearance. For example, the Fall 2008 issue contains its first book reviews. The Spring 2009 issue featured its first colored pictures for the art section, and though cuts in funding have resulted a trimming down of the page count, the colored art is a feature that will remain with the magazine.
