A message from Jamison Stoike, the former Managing
Editor & Content Specialist
“After more than two years at the helm of Pulse, I’ve stepped
down and have returned to graduate school at the University of
Kentucky, where I'm seeking an MA (and later, I hope, a PhD).
I’ve truly enjoyed serving as the managing editor of Pulse,
and it’s been an honor to work with so many incredible ISPA
members each and every month. It’s a bittersweet departure,
to be sure, but one that is made easier by the knowledge
that Pulse is in capable hands.
Until we meet again, best wishes.”
