While you read this issue, you’ll notice the content has changed slightly. We eliminated the news and sports sections, as the information simply wasn’t “new” by the time the magazine reached you. Many keep up with Wartburg through methods like our alumni listserv (subscribe by e-mailing alumni@wartburg.edu) and www.go-knights.net and www.wartburg.edu. As a result, this new magazine will focus on information you can’t get elsewhere. Another big change I hope you’ll enjoy is that you can submit photography and other artwork for the back cover.

This redesign debut focuses on other new beginnings, too. The cover story on Zach Parham ’07 of Anamosa, Iowa, covers his motorcycle building project and post-graduation plans.

This issue also marks publication of the first magazine feature by Michelle Caldwell ’08 of Washington, Iowa,. Check out her profile of the incomparable Dan Wardell ’98, too.

While there are a lot of new things to take in, I promise we remain committed to delivering a quality magazine. As always, I’m open to your calls, letters and e-mails. I promise the look of Wartburg Magazine has changed but “Being Orange” hasn’t.
