The CHEMIGRAM: a BYU alumni newsletter

In addition to being one of the women's basketball reporters for the Daily Universe at one time, I also write articles for the BYU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. It's public relations at its best; mostly I cover honors, recognitions and awards given to faculty, staff, and/or students in the department. CHEMIGRAM is the name of our annual alumni newsletter, which I've been working on since June with my supervisors and the graphic artist of the department. It was my first complete professional publication; I wrote the majority of the content (about 12 of the 15 pages) and even took some of the pictures. It took almost two months to get the paper to editing stage, at which point it underwent numerous edits before finally going to print the last week of August and appearing on my desk in its polished form TODAY!
