To the Editor:
Congratulations on a fantastic first issue. It is clear that Pio readers are in for a treat with this year’s talented staff.
I especially want to commend you on the ‘Outside Whitman’ section which did a great job showing a few of the ways that Whitman students participate in interesting and high-value experiences that can be used to both complement their academic programs and also provide them with useful transferable skill sets. These skill sets can then be drawn on and showcased when seeking other kinds of opportunities, be they internships, jobs, community service or graduate education.
I hope that throughout this year the Pio continues to highlight these kinds of extraordinary activities.
