Editor’s Note
While we at UP Magazine pride ourselves on our editing process, sometimes mistakes still make it past us and into the print issue. With Issue 5 in particular, our largest issue to date at 240 pages, there were a few things that slipped past our editorial team. (We are a small team, and we are human.) As a matter of journalistic integrity, we want to publish our corrections for reference. If you find any typos, mis-credits, or other mistakes that aren’t listed here, send them to upmagstaff@gmail.com and we will add them to the list and reward you with a pin for the effort.
