SM: It seemed like a great way to connect with campus culture.
AE: I love writing. I first started in my language and now I actively write in English. Writing clears my mind. A lot.

AE: Editors are supportive and come up with interesting ideas for us!
AG: It’s super fun and a really great way to explore the culture of campus and Hanover.
