Welcome Back!

Hi! My name is Jon McMahon (IronSphere97) and I'm President of Wikipedia Connection for the Fall 2017/Spring 2018. Joining me are Emery Dalesio (Blervis) as Vice President, Nora Myer (LilNors) as Treasurer, and David Peterson (shiftin2gear) as Board Member. On behalf of all of the officers, I'd like to welcome all of our members, both new and existing. This year, we plan to expand our partnerships with other organizations here at Ohio State University and continue to improve Wikipedia through Edit-a-Thons and weekly workshops.
