Ivy Leaves is a unique and authentic reflection of Anderson University students, offering a snapshot into what’s on their hearts and minds through their own words and creative expressions. This has given it an air of timelessness despite its long history. Those who contribute to and read the Ivy Leaves Journal wrestle with the same continual state of motion and bittersweetness of the changes they are experiencing or are about to experience. Since the work inside of Ivy is representative of the inner workings of the student body, we sought to package edition 101 in a way that feels true to the students within, capturing the complexities of energetic motion and the beauty of change.
