With this in mind, we hoped to spotlight the marginalized voices in this edition of <em>Imprint. <\/em>Inspired by the collected works of Cherrie Moraga and Gloria Anzald\u00faa, the anthology, <em>This Bridge Called My Back<\/em>, we aim to mold our own drawbridge between communities in the way that these editors have done so successfully.

Let this be another imprint as to <em>who we are<\/em> as UCF students, including the identities and experiences that make the collective call for action and representation at large. As the community at UCF, we create this \u201cdrawbridge,&#8221; which can only be built if we lay its foundation upon acceptance and the acknowledgment of all identities. In publishing this series, there is a drawbridge drawn between professors and students, the LGBTQIA+ community, ethnic backgrounds, and disabled communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/bridgewatch-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/bridgewatch-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5219 lazyload\" width=\"307\" height=\"349\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/bridgewatch-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5219\" width=\"307\" height=\"349\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout history, several groups have failed to overturn and outmaneuver the institutional flaws within governments, education systems, tyranny, and oppression. One sure reason was that these institutions were far too large and controlled. Any inkling of outside &#8220;thought&#8221; was immediately shut down. The institution of education and the academic pinnacle of universities may be among these outdated perspectives. It is from within that we can <em>evoke and empower<\/em> change. It is together that brings an inclusive future. No future was ever built without there first being a discussion about what NEEDS to change. Let&#8217;s build together, soon. First, let&#8217;s talk together.
