& Vol. VII

In an effort to make our magazine more accessible to everyone, we have decided to also publish the entire volume online. We want everyone to be able to read our classmates and peers’ works. On your phone? Click on each page to see the picture in higher quality and read the poems and stories with ease.

Letter from the Team

Dear Traveler,

Welcome aboard to Ampersand Airlines! Join us as we take a journey through the skies and explore the unknown.

This seventh edition prompted us to tackle travel, discovery, and fascination. College is a time of fluctuation and self-determination, which is a sentiment that seemed to echo across many of your submissions this year.

As we prepare for takeoff, please take comfort in knowing that all of us are in this moment of change together. Here at Ampersand, we hope that we can provide this reassurance in our joined trip to the future.

We hope that you enjoy your time with us as we adventure through time, space, and imagination. Sit tight, relax, and enjoy your flight!

- The 2023-24 Ampersand Crew
