We are gathered here today to welcome a new team of writers at East Los Angeles College and their individual contributions to The Odyssey Online. We have joined The Odyssey Online because we hope to have our voices heard through a wide range of social media outlets. Each writer will bring all of you something interesting and fresh each week, with articles ranging in politics through pop culture.
With chapters on over 850 college campuses across the country, we're excited to establish one on the ELAC campus to extend a voice to community college students. ELAC has one of the most diverse, active, and creative student bodies in the nation and the ability to have our work read by millions is one of which we're very proud. Tune in for pieces on politics on campus, environmental issues, the latest celebrity craze, and the social issues that affect all of us. For our inaugural publishing day, we have pieces on Hillary Clinton's controversial visit, the benefits of radical self-love, the latest hip-hop sensation, and so many other incredible articles worthy of your attention.
Of course, any and all students are welcome to apply to join our chapter. We want to focus on having the biggest, best, and more diverse chapter possible which can only be achieved through constant recruitment and an influx of fresh voices. If you'd like to contribute to Odyssey at ELAC, just fill out an application at theodysseyonline.com/apply and we will be in touch right away.
We hope that you will all stick around and support this amazing team of creative writers and that you will share our voices with your friends, family, and peers.
Yours,
Jocelyn Flores
Editor-in-Chief Odyssey ELAC
