As exams draw nearer and the air gets colder, we at the Quid Novi would also like say thank you. For many reasons, the tail end of 2023 has been heavy for students in the Faculty of Law. Indeed, we are not exclusively students, our realm not only the academic. We are citizens. We are family members. We are consumers, readers, watchers, advocates, and artists. We are members of a community.
This is why it has been such a privilege for us to co-edit the Quid Novi this year. This publication, we submit, plays an important role in our community. It’s a platform for non-academic discussion. Whether it be an article expressing gratitude for a get-together in the atrium or an open letter expressing support for the victims in Gaza, submissions to the Quid paint a picture of extra-academic life at the Faculty.
We also look at it historically, as we look back at Quid editions of several decades ago–students will surely look back at 2023 Quid issues and wonder. So, as we near the end of the semester, thank you to our Quid Novi columnists, contributors, editors, and readers. We wish you a month well spent with loved ones and resting. We look forward to another semester of documenting life in Chancellor Day Hall come January 2024. Happy Holidays.
