Associate Professor of English Michael Moir, Ph.D., was also honored for his work as Sirocco’s faculty advisor from 2013 to 2016. This year’s issues are dedicated to Moir.
This year’s staff includes Literary Editor Brittnea Holland; Art Editors Daniel Goss and Jairus Whitley; and staff members Caryn Childers, Taylor Fisher, D’Ante Hill, Dee Hudson, Daniel Player, Sara Sellers and Sharell Thorpe.
The staff of Sirocco would like to thank everyone who contributed their work and who provided their time and assistance to make this year’s double issue possible.
