Division to Vision: 2024 Out!

Published by

on

2024 has come to a roaring finish as the world anticipates what 2025 has in store. This past year was unpredictable, like a wild game of Uno. An entire deck of colors cascade with the collapse of governments worldwide, a contentious election that ended with an unpredicted reverse card, and unceasing, wild-card global conflicts in Israel and Ukraine with no end in sight; in the storm of unpredictably one constant will surely remain, the BOW team’s commitment to bridging the divide in the eye of the storm. In 2025, we’re doubling our efforts to provide stability to the game-table, reimagining the vivid world of politics into digestible commentary for our youth audiences across the nation. 

Our New Year Resolutions 

Adding to the New Year’s Resolution pile, we propose a fresh start, maintaining a healthy, productive, and vibrant space of community, writing our way through our perceptions and goals. 

  1. Covering international affairs—by expanding our perspective to include international coverage, it’ll elucidate events at home and aid in balancing out extremes with sensible happenings and reality around the world.
  1. Consistency—readers can expect a dedicated team so as soon as the big events that shake the political paradigm happen, Bridge of Wills will be ready for a response. Readers can expect a weekly contribution, and in the next few days it’ll manifest in a history editorial  by our Vice-Editor and an article honoring President Jimmy Carter’s legacy releasing on January 9th.
  1. Collaboration and input—we’re expanding our outreach by bringing back Guest Wednesday to give young people a direct voice to express their vision— a diverse facilitator for unity as a core value found within our publication.

Conclusion

Welcoming 2025 at our doorstep, we answer its call as we write our articles, with each message reverberating our mission to civically engage and educate our online audience. 

We encourage you to take inspiration from our pen and create your own publication to be featured on our Guest Wednesdays! For publication proposals, reach out to our Editor in Chief Daniel Nunez or visit our steps pinned on our Instagram. 

As we ran out of cards for 2024, we welcome a new stack of opportunities. Combining these colors, we can create a dynamic, enjoyable, and interconnected experience for you — our audience dedicated to becoming model citizens across the nation.

Authors

  • Hey! I’m Daniel Nuñez, the creator of Bridge of Wills and a current freshman at Duke University, intending to major in Political Science! I created Bridge of Wills in 2022 because I believed I could harness my passion for writing and politics to create a platform that would help reduce partisan tensions in America—I still believe we can. In a political environment that no longer just encompasses fierce disagreements but that is beginning to include violence, Bridge of Wills and its mission are needed more than ever. I hope you can give both Bridge of Wills and give civil disagreement and debate a chance when learning about the issues that affect our country. You can reach me at den17@duke.edu if you have any suggestions or comments!
