If you were at the Campus Progress National Conference on Tuesday you know this already, but for those who weren't: Today is my last day as associate editor of CampusProgress.org. On July 9 I begin my new job as a writing fellow at The American Prospect. I hope you check out my daily blogging there at TAPPED. And of course, you'll see me pop up occasionally at CampusProgress.org in my capacity as a freelance writer. I'm hoping to do some interviews with accomplished journalists for the site, and maybe even a few pieces on liberal thinkers young progressives should know about. Sound good? Any suggestions?

I have also launched a personal site for my more historical, light-hearted, and cultural writing, as well as my photography. I hope you'll check it out regularly.

Now comes the hard part -- expressing just how awesome it's been working at Campus Progress, interacting with you all through this website, and building a new generation of progressive leaders (especially journalists!). I started this job just two weeks after college graduation, having never lived in DC before. I had no idea what to expect. But what I found was an enthusiastic, intelligent, fun, diverse, welcoming group of young people working really damn hard. I respect my colleagues here immensely and will miss seeing them every day.

David: You've spoiled me for every other boss ever.

Ben: I know I gave you a bad first impression when I dissed on fact-checking (note to all interns and job-seekers out there: don't do that!). Thankfully, we ended up getting along.

Elana: You confirmed what I've always known is true. Brunonians are just better.

Graham: Only another only child could understand my need to sing to myself and speak in strange voices.

Tamia: Our friendship is so special because I think we always learned from each other in our long talks. I will miss sitting next to you!

Pedro: Your work on student lending impressed the shit out of me. And thanks for being such a peaceful person to share space with.

Ramya: I'll never forget that you remembered me from Westchester even though we had last seen each other 10 years before. You're filled with energy and enthusiasm -- and you're adorable, too. That's why you're great at your job.

Shereen: It has been a pleasure seeing you come into our team and just kick ass. 

Rupa: Damn, you made that Iraq Film Project happen. Also - your ability to chat people up never fails to impress me. I'm so glad you're staying at CP.

Keisha: Congratulations on your promotion! I've always been impressed with your grace and can-do attitude.

Emily: From your great taste in music and books and clothes to your savvy on journalism and politics, it's just been wonderful working with you.

Madhu: When we're together, we can't stop talking. Which is why we almost missed that plane. And then walked into a men's bathroom. The conference was awesome. You rock.

Thomas: The publications network is in good hands. Good luck!

Jesse: Our time together was too short. But you kept me laughing, even when I was stressed and sick. Keep in touch!

Cara, Zach, and all the other interns I've worked with: Keep me updated on your exciting lives and your writing. You know where to find me!

Okay, that was a long goodbye, thanks for putting up with it. Much love.
