To Ann Arbor

Kathryn Campbell, Director of Publicity May 29, 2026

Dear Ann Arbor, Six months from now, I rest my case with you. I pride myself on ambition and relentless enterprise, all of which will ultimately be weighed against the quiet arbitrariness of a single...

Throughout their consistent victory, the U.S. Women’s National Team have proven themselves the true American heroes of this Olympic era.

American hockey is women’s hockey

Kathryn Campbell, Director of Publicity February 27, 2026

My women's hockey career began in a storage closet. Though many may not realize it, at the time, putting my gear on surrounded by mops and Lysol was completely normal. There were very few—if any—rinks...

Time passes by with the reminder that things will never be as simple as they were.

To seek what lasts

Kathryn Campbell, Director of Publicity January 6, 2026

Great expectations and a neon sweet sixteen

Kathryn Campbell, Copy Editor January 17, 2025

Hidden away in my cornucopia of painfully outdated Pinterest boards lies my idle “Sweet Sixteen” collage, which, for some bizarre reason that I cannot comprehend now, was supposed to be neon-themed.  While...

The steady lamb does not hold the weight of her own sporadic tendency, nor does the aftertaste of her omission creep into her placid pasture.

On the contrary of the lamb

Kathryn Campbell, Copy Editor September 17, 2024

The lamb knows not of her galling contradiction. The pastures plead for her graceful saunter, and the meadow begs for the sustenance of her charity. The rain descends from the sky, knowing that its...

Etched in the film of 16 years of camera footage is the evidence of all that I am, all I have ever been, and all that I carry with me.
