In Memory of Chris Weibel
(1958-2012)

Chris was an alumnus of the College of Communication and a former instructor in the School of Visual Communication. In his later years, he was the special projects manager for the college. During his time here in VisCom he was a valued mentor and member of the faculty. In past years, Chris played an important role in Soul of Athens, providing expertise and guidance in audio and video production.
As we complete this year's project, we want to take the time to remember Chris for his dedication and passion.

Senior Editors

Each individual essay needed to fit into the larger theme of Soul of Athens this year, and this is where the Senior Editors came in. They managed the overall organization of the website by making sure deadlines were met. They also ensured that content achieved the high standards set by past SoA projects and fostered collaboration among the nearly 100 people involved in the project.
