We are excited to present our 2023 Spring Issue of The Vehicle! This year, we decided to create a collection of Panther voices consisting of current students, graduate students, alumni, staff, and faculty! 

Even with some unforeseen events occurring during the semester, we at The Vehicle continued to work to get this amazing issue out to those in and outside the EIU community. I thank our amazing staff whom I had the honor to work with this year; every one of them worked diligently to bring this issue to life!  

A huge thanks to Dr. Colleen Abel who guided us every step of the way and allowed us to put together something we can be proud of.  

Our biggest thank you goes to our submitters and our readers! Thank you for trusting us with your work, and allowing us the chance to show the writing and artistic talent the EIU community has. We could not have done any of this without you and you have our biggest gratitude!

We hope you enjoy this issue! Bleed Blue EIU! 

Sincerely,  

Kierstyn Budz, Editor-In-Chief
