Our special 10th anniversary issue features undergraduate writers from Central Michigan, Franklin & Marshall, John Carroll, Swarthmore, UNC Wilmington, Ursinus, and Vassar. Plus an interview with author Catherine Zobal Dent and a 10-year retrospective: former editors pick favorite pieces from past issues.

Thanks to all the writers, artists, and staff members who helped to make this issue a great one. Also, a special thank you to all of the editors, past and present, that contributed to this special edition. This issue means a great deal to all of us here at The Blue Route. We hope you enjoy reading!
