The Albright Arts Magazine (AM) is a student-run publication that I was a part of during my time at Albright College. Students write the articles, take the photos, and design the layout of the magazine, then send it out to be printed. During my time, I wrote articles, took photographs, and designed for the magazine, as well as served as the publication’s secretary for a semester, and then president/editor-in-chief for two years. Here are the articles that I wrote for the magazine during my time with them.
