UNIT-E
ABOUT UNIT-E UNIT-E was founded in the spring of 2010 with the aim of establishing a non-profit, student-run magazine for international students in Beijing. Staffed by current students from a range of international schools, the magazine provides an amalgam of cultural tidbits, fragments of Beijing student life, and a broad spectrum of unique perspectives from a diverse group of young adults.
UNIT-E’S VISION AND PHILOSOPHY UNIT-E is dedicated to its service as a medium for the empowerment of international school students through writing and expression. The publication strives to support students in becoming proactive world citizens and developing strong involvement in addressing social issues in Beijing. Beijing international school students’ individual efforts to address a vast array of social issues have resulted in numerous small accomplishments that are successes in their own right, but have little impact on the large-scale issues which these projects address. UNIT-E believes in the synergy embedded in a dedicated core of proactive youths, whose united effort harbours an impact far beyond the small-scale. UNIT-E believes in the harnessing of this life-changing power - the ability for youth to create substantial improvement in any community through cohesive and comprehensive efforts - and so envisions UNIT-E as a framework for any and all Beijing students to engage with local Beijing and make a positive impact on the status quo.
A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS-IN-CHIEFDear Reader,
Welcome to our joint November-December issue!
Keep this issue of UNIT-E with you through exams, college applications, and the coldest winter months. Arguably, these are some of the most grueling weeks in terms of both academics and the weather. We know that it’ll be difficult and it looks daunting from where you’re standing, but keep in mind that spring is never too far away—and we might even get a little snow in the meantime.
We’re always hoping to draw attention to things that our readers may not be aware of—this issue, you can check out our Arts column on page 29 to read about some musical genres and artists that you may not know. (Have you listened to Nintendocore or the artist Hoobastank before?) If you have any artists, books, websites, interests, or anything else you’d like to share with UNIT-E, just send us an email and we’ll feature it in an article!
Recently, as we grow closer to the time when current seniors will be departing, we’ve filled a number of positions in UNIT-E. We want to say a thank-you to these members for all of their hard work and commitment to collaborating with the UNIT-E team in our content, finance, and service sectors. You can take a look at these changes in our UNIT-E Updates section!
Batten down the hatches, there are strong winds ahead—we’ll see you in 2014!
Yours Faithfully,Kathleen Ma and Lauren You
