To Rachel,
This is for the one that motivates me every week to put out articles of which I am beyond proud.
I remember last year reading articles from others that wrote for Odyssey and thinking, “I wanna do that.” And now, I am. I may be the one that writes the articles that are published every week, but there’s also someone that works behind the scenes that deserves more credit than she receives.
I am so lucky to have an Editor-in-Chief that I have watching over my community here at WVU. This is not her only job, but from the amount of dedication and time that she puts into this community, you might think that that were the case! She never fails to be there when I am having formatting issues, scheduling problems, or when MUSE decides to hate me at midnight on a Saturday. She is always there with encouraging words and a solution to every single issue I come across, except I’m pretty sure no one has truly mastered the art of taming the platform that is MUSE!
From the very beginning of my career at Odyssey, Rachel basically made herself indisposable to me and was there to respond to every single one of my annoying texts that I sent about building my profile and getting my first article out into the cyberworld!
Week after week, and email after email, Rachel makes sure that all of us are on schedule and ready to submit for the coming week. She is constantly motivating us to become better writers, praising us when our articles are received well, and always looking out for every one of us in any way that she can.
So, Rachel, I wrote this to thank you and to make sure that you know just how much you are appreciated by your Odyssey family here at WVU, and by me, especially. This experience has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you for your continuous support and all the work that you do week after week to make sure that we are exceeding the role of being a Content Creators for The Odyssey Online! Here’s to the best EIC I know!
With love from your contentcreator,
Megan
