Reflecting On The Year

Abstract

With this being the final edition of Surgo for the year, and my final one as Editor-In-Chief, it's important to look back and reflect. This year has been very important for Surgo as we have finally managed to gain accreditation as an official publication. There has also been more of an online presence and push, in the digital age that we live in this is very important. While this is key to the advancement is Surgo going forward, it is important not to forget the origins of the journal. That is why we have continued to print and distribute physical copies of Surgo as well, to maintain the core essence of the brand. As a team, we have managed to deliver various topics, ranging from study skills to mental health. All of these had a key focus: students and their livelihood. Moving forward, this is something we want to build on and continue promoting, a better environment and sa afe space for students to voice their opinions and concerns.

We also want this to be a place to highlight students' achievements, both academic and extracurricular. And on that note, from the entire Surgo team and our various co-authors, we are signing off for this year. - Daanyaal Ashraf, Surgo Editor-In-Chief 2024/25
