Editors Past is a way to memorialize the former leaders of the journal we love so much. See below for a list of recent years’ Editors-in-Chiefs and their testimonials about the greatest impacts from their Tributaries experiences.
Mara Cobb, 2023
Working on Tributaries not only gave me valuable experience in copyediting, but it also gave me so much confidence as I grew my skills and collaborated with other editors to achieve a common goal: creating the best possible journal.
Ally Pate, 2021
My time at Tributaries is something I think back on fondly that taught me a lot about what it means to be part of a team that is really passionate about what they do. What I miss most is the excitement of sifting through submissions to find pieces that showcased profound creativity and excellence.
Rowen Creech, 2020
Publishing the 2020 issue of Tributaries was a learning experience that couldn’t be replicated through classwork alone. Being part of Tribs taught me to recognize individual strengths within a team, meet deadlines, assemble a cohesive work, and most importantly, it taught me that the creativity and talent of our peers is a treasure for all to appreciate and enjoy.
Sara Baxter, 2019
Working on Tributaries was an incredibly rewarding experience because it pushed me to put on hats that weren’t easy for me to wear. Being a “good student” was my comfort zone, but Tributaries taught me how to be a scout, an organizer, a team player, a motivator, a public speaker, a leader, and probably much more.
