Acknowledgements
I would like to extend a warm welcome and convey my
heartfelt gratitude towards a few people who have helped
make this issue of our department journal come into
existence.
To begin with, I would like to welcome and thank our
department Dean, Meera Mather. Meera’s exceptional
leadership and her unwavering commitment to growth and
success of our department have helped our journal and
editorial team return after a momentary pause.
I would also like to welcome and thank our newest addition
to our team, our department Chair, James Papple. James’
dedication to the department and his willingness to listen,
advise, and lead has been truly inspiring.
Additionally, I would like to thank our team of editors, Philip
Alalibo, Zafar Khan, Marcel Cundari, Jill McDonald, Ivan
Su, Shelley Steele, Paula Anderton, and BJ Jumnadass for
being so gracious with their time, invaluable feedback, and
commitment to the team.
I would also like to thank all our staff and faculty who have
been contributing to our department journal with their
submissions and their constructive feedback in making this
journal grow.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my colleague,
Marcel Cundari, whose invaluable support has played a
pivotal role at every step of this endeavor.
