We made it. We got through the record-breaking and momentous year that was 2020 -- and, to put it frankly, living through unprecedented times is hard. There’s plenty to stress about during a pandemic, a presidential election, a record-breaking hurricane season, social and political movements and so much more. Oh, and managing all of that while still attending college. Even after the world has all but been turned upside down, you made it out the other side. For that, we’re proud of the NSU community — and we hope that you take the time to recognize all of your accomplishments, even if that’s just finishing out last semester or learning how to better manage your time with everything going on. It’s no small feat to stay afloat in school during a pandemic and that alone is deserving of a pat on the back… or, maybe, a socially-distant thumbs up on a Zoom call. Last year was eventful — and that’s an understatement. We want to thank you for staying with The Current while we did our best to stay up to date and informed on everything related to NSU and beyond. We wouldn’t be here if not for all of the subject matter experts, professors and students we’ve interviewed, our contributing writers and staff, and especially, you, our readers. Our goal is to provide the NSU community with the most newsworthy and relevant articles we can, but in order to do so, we need your help. If there’s anything we can do to better make your voice heard, let us know by reaching out to us on our Instagram, @ thecurrentnsu, or by sending us an email to nsunews@nova.edu. You can keep up with us on social media or by visiting our website, nsucurrent.nova.edu to stay on top of everything 2021 throws at us — and after 2020, we’ve had a lot of practice. To a bright and successful new year, Madelyn & Christina
