Dear Readers,

This week we’re excited to feature a special report on the Chrysler property, both in this week’s issue and on our Web site. Reporter Jordan Wompierski has spent the last month investigating contamination at the South College Avenue site recently purchased by the university. His findings are outlined in this week’s front page story.

On our Web site, we have prepared a multimedia package to go along with Wompierski’s article. In our special site for the Chrysler property, www.udreview.com/chrysler, you can read the contamination report commissioned by Chrysler, LLC, explore an interactive map of the contamination sites and view pictures from inside the plant. We’ve also aggregated on the site all of our recent articles about the closing of the plant and the university’s purchase of the land.

As university officials have pointed out, the Chrysler site is the future of the university. Conversation about the clean-up and construction on the site will no doubt go on for years. We will continue to follow the story as it develops.

This is The Review’s last issue of the Fall Semester. Print publication will resume Feb. 12 with a special “While You Were Gone” issue. However, The Review will be active online throughout Winter Session. We’ll have extensive coverage of Jill Biden’s commencement address on Jan. 9 and will keep the Web site updated regularly with other news. We’ll continue to send out weekly e-mail editions to subscribers and will send breaking news alerts as situations warrant. You can sign up the alerts at www.udreivew.com/register.

We’d like to thank you for your readership this semester. Enjoy the holidays.

Failthfully yours,

Josh Shannon, Editor in Chief
Maddie Thomas, Executive Editor
