T H E T U S C A R O R A R E V I E W 2 0 2 3 v i i A Letter From the Editor I remember picking up a copy of the Tuscarora Review in my first semester at FCC. Now, almost two years later, I have had the pleasure of editing the 43rd edition of the Tuscarora Review. This magazine is deeply tied to the FCC community. I have seen it being read in the Cougar Grille. Parents have picked it up at high school outreach events. I have seen art students looking at the colorful centerfold of the magazine. The Tuscarora Review, no matter the edition, has something for everyone. The staff this year had the pleasure of reading so many wonderful submissions and looking at a plethora of beautiful art pieces. Even if your submission did not make it into the magazine, we want to commend you for writing stories and submitting artwork that provoked thoughtful conversation among all of the editors. This edition could not have been possible without a dedicated team. I want to thank each member of the Editorial Board for all of their contributions. To Hannah, our copy editor, thank you for correcting all of the spelling mistakes that I have made and catching all the grammatical mistakes that I would inevitably overlook if I were in your position. To Emily and Katy, our assistant copy editors, thank you for fine-tuning all of the work that is in the magazine. I am so grateful that the two of you were able to help each other get things done. To Catie and Jess, our art directors, thank you for taking the time to curate the art selections for this magazine. Without your creative vision, this edition of the Tuscarora Review would not be privy to all of the dynamic artwork that you helped to select. To Sophie, our social media director, thank you for creating Tuscarora Review TikToks that always make me laugh. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Tuscarora Review as much as we do! —Alexandra Alward, Editor-in-Chief
