Volume 1, Issue 9 (2024)

Dear Readers,

We are pleased to present to you the ninth edition of The Diamond Line.

The work that our team has put in this semester could not have been possible without the contributions from the students. We take pride in being an outlet for undergraduate students in sharing their hard work. We wanted this issue to be a place for students to showcase their creative visions as well as tell their most honest stories.

To encapsulate this, we have chosen the theme of "folk" for this issue. To us, folk is about the power and timelessness of sharing stories, and the human connection we gain from it. The pieces we have chosen for this issue intricately and beautifully weave together a tapestry that tells the story of the human experience. From the brightest days to the most solemn nights, these students have painted a picture of life in its most earnest. Like folk songs, we couldn't get these pieces out of our heads. It's our greatest joy to pass them down to you.
