Triad 2015-2016

Cover created by Francesca Negrillo

I’d like to take a moment to welcome you the 37th edition of the Triad, a showcase of the artistic life and expression that is alive and well at Hillsborough Community College. Inside, you will find a collection of essays, poems, feature stories, paintings and various photography taken by members of our HCC family.

Since 1978, the Triad has been a platform for students to display their artistic abilities, and an opportunity for our institution to celebrate the diversity and differences that make our community truly unique.

To all students who submitted work for this year’s issue, a tremendous thank you for your gift and your willingness to share it with the world. Without your passion, drive, and creativity, this publication would not exist.

I would also like to thank our adviser, Dr. Richard Gaspar, for his guidance, faith, and trust in our staff to put together this publication. I’m truly humbled by this opportunity, which is available to any student with a willingness to learn and better themselves.

Thank you for your interest in the culture of Hillsborough Community College, and welcome to the 2015 Triad.
