Happy Anniversary to the North Texas Odyssey.
It's been a whirlwind of a year and I'm so happy to say that we have thrived on this roller coaster of a year. We've had our ups and our downs. We've had several writers come and go and an EIC graduate. We've seen changes to the national website and exciting changes within our own branch.
Over the last year, UNT's Odyssey has made an impact on several lives. From the writers themselves to complete strangers, the words that are written on this site have moved people and changed their thinking. Without Odyssey, I would have ideas to share the world, but no where to do it. I would have thought-provoking opinions and a lack of courage to say them.
Odyssey is more than just an online news outlet. It's more than a bunch of millennials blogging and venting and coming up with lists. It's more than open letters and confessions and news about your university. It's a creative outlet, a place where students can let their voices be heard and gain confidence in themselves. It's a porfolio builder, an item to add to your resume, a group to belong to.
I like to think of Odyssey as my family. From my right-hand men -- Megan, Abby and Kara -- to the best EICs in the world I'm in a group with, I wouldn't have my Odyssey days be any different.
So while we have a year under our belt, I hope to continue pushing us to greatness in producing content relevant to you and your community.
