A Heartfelt Thank You to the Woodcrest Community
I want to take a moment to share my deepest appreciation for every single person who played a part in bringing this edition of Beavers’ Pride to life. From the first day I began gathering content to the final touches on these pages, I have been overwhelmed by the incredible support, generosity, and enthusiasm of our Woodcrest family.
The flood of photos I received from so many of you was nothing short of inspiring. Each snapshot carried with it a unique story, a smile, or a memory that now lives on in these pages. In sharing your moments, you didn’t just help make this edition the best it could be—you helped weave together a visual and emotional record of our shared experiences. These contributions reflect the true heart of Woodcrest: a community that rallies around each other, celebrates each other’s wins, and captures the little moments that make this place special.
This issue is brimming with coverage from every day of RUSH—highlights, celebrations, and candid moments that tell the story of this vibrant chapter in our campus life. Whether it’s a photo that made you laugh, a quote that inspires you, or a scene that takes you right back to the moment, I hope you can feel the joy and pride that went into creating this collection.
But this is just the beginning. The power of our community storytelling is limitless, and I encourage you to keep it going! If you find yourself snapping a picture, jotting down a thought, or witnessing a moment worth sharing, please don’t let it stay hidden on your phone or in your mind. Use the Submit Candid tab, or simply reach out to me—give me a holla, and I’ll happily collect them from you. These little treasures breathe life into our publication and ensure our history is told by the people living it.
The Beavers’ Pride is always growing, and we’re eager to welcome more voices and talents. Whether you see yourself as a reporter, a photographer, a columnist, or someone with a fresh idea we haven’t explored yet, you have a place here. Your perspective matters, and your creativity could spark something wonderful for the whole community.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for reading, for contributing, and for being the reason our Woodcrest community is as vibrant and close-knit as it is. This publication is more than just pages; it’s a reflection of all of you. Without your energy, ideas, and willingness to share, none of this would be possible.
Here’s to this edition, to the many more still to come, and to the countless stories we’ll continue to tell—together.
With love,
Griselda Martinez-Longfall
Beavers’ Pride Editor
