Welcome back to a new semester at Vandy.
January always feels like a time to plan for the future, and with that in mind, we've included several features in this month's issue of Orbis that deal with looking ahead. Read up on family planning options around campus, planning out a career after graduation, and planning for the future of our state's political leadership. We also take a light-hearted approach to New Year's resolutions by profiling some of our fellow students' witty (or just plain weird) yearlong goals on our back page.
This month also marks the start of another election year, which is always exciting for political buffs. Although voters won't reach the polls until November, I am already consuming unhealthy amounts of coverage about polling numbers, campaign strategies, and would-be contenders. Does this sound like you too? Get involved by writing for Orbis about your favorite political issues. Email vanderbiltorbis@gmail.com to come to our next staff meeting, to get on the listserv, or to talk to us about your favorite Glenn Beck on-air meltdowns.
Our next issue will be out in mid February. We'll cover the Tea Party Nation's invasion of Nashville when they host their first national convention, headlined by intellectual heavyweight Sarah Palin. That should be fun to watch.
We also plan to spotlight Lambda, another LGBT-focused organization on campus, as they gear for up for the annual Rainbow ReVU week, scheduled for late March. If you are a leader in a progressive campus organization that would like to be part of the Orbis spotlight series, contact us at vanderbiltorbis@gmail.com.
