An Official clay Update

Earlier this month, we made the difficult decision to discontinue clay due to our upcoming graduation and inability to accept that clay’s leadership falls into new hands each year. We hoped that this saddening news would be taken well, but unfortunately, it was met with much disappointment and even a few tears. The flood of emails, comments, Forums posts, and more–including rumors of a new clay being created–protesting this announcement prompted us to reconsider our decision.

By now, you’ve (hopefully) figured out that this is our April Fools’ month, and that everything you’ve read about clay shutting down has been one huge prank. This is always one of our favorite publications, and every year, the clay staff comes up with a new prank or theme for the month. We hope that despite your disappointment at first, you got a few laughs out of our April content once you realized it was all a joke. 

So while we will both be leaving clay and TPS, we have found two successors who are sure to continue providing all you readers with engaging new content every week. clay will continue, and clay will be in excellent hands this next year. 

We are so incredibly excited to announce our 2022-2023 Senior Editors…drum roll please…Dianna Pledger and Misa Stanton! 

Dianna and Misa have both served clay well as section editors, showing strong ability as writers and leaders, and we could not be more confident in their ability as clay’s next pair of benevolent dictators. Please join us in wishing them all the best for next year! 

Dianna Pledger

Misa Stanton

 

Keep checking back on clay as we wrap up our publishing year–we’ll continue posting new content for a few more weeks! Staff applications for the 2022-2023 season will be released soon, and be sure to congratulate our graduating seniors as the Class of 2022 senior bios are published over the coming weeks.

Sincerely,
Mari Stanton and Julia Holmgren
2021-2022 Senior Editors
