Letter from the editors
Dear readers of The Lowell,
With the release of our March magazine corresponding with women’s history month, we wanted to produce an issue completely surrounding women, from the cover story to the crossword puzzle. Our initial vision never fully materialized, but pieces including our opinion piece and column serve as important reminders of the often overlooked struggles and accomplishments of women.
Many students have noticed a rise in antisemitic comments and attitudes, especially following Kanye’s recent statements. We wanted to give a voice to these students because antisemitism is a problem that often goes undiscussed at Lowell. In our cover story “Addressing antisemitism,” we explore how students are affected by events like 2021’s Padlet incident, which involved the use of antisemitic slurs but nothing done following the incident to educate students about antisemitism.
Incorporating a theme was a new concept that we wanted to test, and we are excited to announce the release of an entirely multimedia-themed magazine next month. We’ve shared art from staff members through our Instagram, website, and magazine issues, but this is an opportunity for us to publish it in the form of a larger project.
Hope all the girls go “goblin mode” this month!
Editors-in-Chief,
Chloe Chon, Kelcie Lee, and Marlena Rohde
Chloe is a senior, but still doesn’t really feel like one. One thing she’s proud of are her spotify playlists, which include every genre imaginable (yes, even country). Outside of the journ room, she loves taking long drives, writing, and thrifting.
Kelcie is a senior at Lowell who can be found in the journ room working, drinking coffee, and listening to music. Her older brother once mentioned that there are only three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and Kelcie not waking up to her alarms. She also happens to have a paradoxical relationship with chicken… go figure.
Marlena is a senior at Lowell. When she isn't at school she's probably at the lab, watching a movie, or sitting on the sidewalk listening to music (usually Björk).
