A Letter from the Editor
Welcome to The Campus Trainer!
My name is Lilly Howard, and I am honored to be the editor-in-chief of this University of Maryland student-run publication, focusing on everything from fitness, to campus life, to fashion. Our writers, editors, photographers, and social media team are some of the most talented and dedicated journalists and students on campus, and are always working hard to provide content to UMD that is meaningful, exciting, and, most of all, innovative. 

The Campus Trainer is a place where many UMD students make their first steps as journalists, and we are grateful to be part of each student’s journey towards their future. Whether you’re interested in taking your first steps as a journalist or are simply a reader who wants to share some ideas, please email [email protected] at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
                                                                            Lilly
