Hey, everyone!
My name is Devin Edgar and I am officially the new Editor in Chief for Mississippi State's team of Odyssey. I know it is a little late in the year, especially with there only being about five weeks left in the Spring semester, but I am so excited to take on this position here.
Just a brief introduction: I was born and raised in Pensacola, and somehow found my way to the charming, little, college town of Starkville, Mississippi. I'm a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, and I proudly wear the crown. I'm a proud proponent of breakfast for dinner, coffee at midnight, and oxford commas. The most important thing, though, is my incredible love for writing, the field of Journalism, and Odyssey. So, that is why I'm so excited to be the EIC.
I started writing for Odyssey shortly after the Fall semester started as a Psychology major. I started with no great intentions, or expectations, but it really changed everything for me. I realized just how much I loved writing, and how much it meant to have my voice heard. I want everyone else to have this same opportunity as well.
This year, Mississippi State has reached record-breaking enrollment numbers. With that being said, I know that there are tons of talented people that can bring so much to our team of Odyssey. Our team hasn't taken off as much as I hoped, nor has it taken off as much as I know it can, but I know that it will in the future. We all go to such a great school — a school that has so many stories to tell.
I'm hoping to open this team up to everyone — males, females, Greeks, and non-Greeks. I want everyone to get the chance to have their words, thoughts, and opinions, heard.
If anyone who comes across this has any questions, and would like to get involved, please feel free to contact me, or anyone on Staff. Applications are also always available to submit online as well. Also, if you have any ideas that you feel like would better Odyssey community at Mississippi State — send them in! I can't wait to continue this community on our campus.
So, cheers to a fresh start! I look forward to serving such a great college community.
