We would like to thank President David Munson and Provost Ellen Granberg for their generous and essential support towards the creation of ellipse. Without that support, this magazine would still be a bunch of files on a server. Your contribution towards this magazine is impossible to overstate.

Thank you to Barbara Giordano, John Dettmer and all of the hard working staff at the Printing Applications Lab for assistance in the production of this magazine.

We’d also like to thank Rolland for graciously donating both our cover and interior paper.

Thank you Alan Czaplicki for your thorough copy editing services.

Thank you to Lisa DeRomanis, Therese Mulligan, and the SPAS office for working and supporting our magazine.

Thank you to Robin Cass and the Dean of the College of Art and Design’s office for their support. And a big thank you to the College of Design office for their support. It speaks to the generosity of the CAD community and it truly means the world to us.

A big thank you to Sam Kilgus and Zach Burdett for your assistance in making our digital magazine a beautiful reality. Your knowledge has been indispensable.

And of course we’d like to thank our wonderful professors Nancy Bernardo and Rachel Ferraro for advising and guiding us through this long and complicated process.

Thank you for helping us be the best version of ourselves.

Finally, we’d like to thank the many friends, alumni, parents, partners and faculty that have supported ellipse. From the most generous financial donation to the smallest pep talk, you kept this magazine afloat when times got rough.

We are forever grateful.
