Volume 5, Issue 1 (2016) New Vistas
Education moves us in the direction of inquiry, exploration, and discovery. Imagination opens new vistas of thought and action.
This issue is dedicated to our six founders who are setting off toward new horizons: Dr. La'Tonya Rease Miles, First To Go Director; Dr. Danelle Dyckhoff Stelzriede, First-Gen Voices Editor-in-Chief; Ms. Alexia Pineda, Managing Editor; Ms. Guadalupe Astorga Contreras, Associate Editor; Ms. Genesis Montalvo, Associate Editor; and Ms. Diana Delgado Cornejo, Associate Editor.
A thank you to the new staff who will continue to push these conversations forward.
