Happy Valentine’s from your Editors-in-Chief at The Thunderbolt, Phoebe Piserchio and Elaine Chan! During this month of February, the campus is alight with activities such as Winter formal! Pinstripes at Hillsdale was an amazing host and venue and it was truly a lovely night. In this magazine, you will find some amazing pictures of everyone having a good time at formal (Shoutout to Yearbook Class!).

We were also Struck by Cupid at our winter rally, which featured performances from the Korean Culture Club, Dance Team, Cheer Team, and more! Our spirit week was full of tutus, tiaras, and pink pink pink; it was lovely to see everyone take part in these February festivities.

February celebrates Black History Month, and The Thunderbolt honors the contributions that the African American community has made in shaping our history. This month observes distinguished and admirable figures, including Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver, and Rosa Parks. You can read more on page 6.

Happy Valentine’s and Galentine’s (and Bro-entine’s…?)! From meet-cutes to the nature of situationships, the February magazine covers all aspects of this month of love. Whether it be hanging with the girls or finding a favorite date spot with your significant other, we hope we spark some inspiration.

Everyone watched the Grammys and subsequently the snubs as well. The 2024 nomination pool was overflowing with crazy talent, which can only make for an interesting, albeit tension-filled, awards show! And just a week later, we tuned in to watch the Chiefs and Eagles go head-to-head at The Caesars Superdome. 

With spring around the corner, we strive to continue bringing relevant and entertaining stories to our community in these final months.

Best,

Elaine Chan & Phoebe Piserchio
