The stories within prime reflect only a sliver of the ones that unfold on our campus every day. Within these pages, you will encounter people who have explored the streets of cities across the globe, experimented with fashion, spearheaded movements to study the vast potential of outer space and rekindled a spark for learning at UCLA decades later. From touring the strangest museums in Los Angeles to reconciling the divide between religion and culture, prime brings you stories about human experience. As the year goes on, we plan to continue searching for these stories and capturing them within our pages. With every new team of editors, prime builds on the foundation set by previous years to carve out a powerful voice for the campus. Thank you for picking up our first issue of prime. We hope you find enjoyment with every turn of the page.
