The newsletter, while crude in appearance, was an instant hit with professors and students, regardless of race. Students would often ask the founder “When is the next issue published?,” professors would often offer suggestions on how to improve the content to appeal to a broader audience.

Five years later, the publication has evolved to a publication that circulates citywide FREE of charge. It enjoys a readership of people from all walks of life due to its coverage of diverse topics.. Articles featured in LUV magazine cover such topics as Health, Career and Job Market opportunities, Investment Practices, Top Websites, Poetry, Short Stories and more.

The terrorist event which needlessly ended so many lives, however, caused me to take a broader look at the mission of this publication and life in general. While every day may not be filled with calmness and serenity, I think we owe it to ourselves to seek out these basic elements of happiness.

My job with LUV is to work with our fantastic crew of contributing writers and marketing director to produce a positive, upbeat publication. I would be lying, however, if I stated I am not still deeply saddened by the enormity of the terrorist event. The staff’s heart and my own go out to everyone directly and indirectly effected by this tragedy. May God look over us all.
