The Bravura staff would like to extend thanks to the following people for their support of the creative community at Palomar in general and for their support of the literary journal in particular:  Robert Deegan, President of Palomar College; Berta Cuaron, Vice-President of Instruction at Palomar College; and Steve McDonald, Dean of Languages and Literature at Palomar College.  The staff would also like to thank the President’s Associates for generously providing the funds for the writing and visual awards as well as for the full-color cover and inside pages; their generous contribution rightly recognizes and encourages the artistic achievements of our students. 

Opinions expressed in Bravura are those of the writers and artists, and do not necessarily reflect those of the staff or of Palomar College.
