Volume 7, Number 1 (2021) Alpenglow: Binghamton University Undergraduate Journal
Issue Theme: Movement
In reading over the submissions for this issue, I was really struck by the connections between so many of them. Submissions addressed questions of identity and policy and, most importantly, the necessity for change within the systems of power that affect these issues. Such strong correlations reminded me about how active members of Binghamton’s student body are and how deeply they care about the politics and structures that affect both themselves and their communities. This realization inspired the theme of this 7th issue—movement. Movement of people, movement of ideas, and movement towards change and progress.A Note from Editors

A Message from Cover Art Designer, Addy Phoenix
Butterflies were the first thing that came to mind when I read the prompt about movement. They are beautiful creatures associated with hope and peace, and I wanted to incorporate that theme into the cover of the magazine. I hope my art welcomes readers to the wonderful research accomplished in the magazine.
