Dear Friends:

We hope you have enjoyed our paper this year; it has been our pleasure to bring it to you. With our final issue of the year, we bring you some very exciting material. The most significant story was one that exposes a self-naming sexual health organization’s efforts to promote condom use and alcohol consumption at BC. We firmly believe that while this organization may be well-intentioned, flippantly handing out condoms and party cups fails to promote Catholic values of human intimacy. One of our goals has been to promote a more robust view of sexual health, not simply supporting the idea that condom distribution is sufficient to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks to your generosity, we met our fundraising goal for the year! We would not be able to publish without your help, which has allowed us to publish ten times this year. We are planning on publishing twelve times next year, and we firmly believe we can accomplish this goal with your continued support.

As you may know, Michael Reer, our former editor-in-chief, is graduating in May. He will be attending Boston College Law School in the fall. Be sure to congratulate him and wish him the best of luck. His efforts and successes with this paper are unmatched, and we are fortunate to have him nearby next year!

We hope you have an excellent summer!

Sincerely yours,

Jesse Naiman
