Editorials for the Academic Exchange Quarterly: Beginning with the second issue, I served as copy editor for the AEQ through May of 2001, when the editorial duties became more than I could manage with my regular school duties. Since that time, the AEQ has gone on to become an established educational journal, and I am proud to have had a part in its inception.
