Editorial

At this start of our fifth print year, I am reminded of our Inaugural Issue of September 2011 when the acceptance of this new journal was wholly in question. Since that time I have been overwhelmed and overjoyed by the response of the THz community. With your help, we have become a mainstream IEEE publication with a strong following and a bright future. I cannot be more pleased and more proud of the people who have made this happen. Again I would like to acknowledge and thank the former Presidents of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society for their unwavering support of this publication: Samir El-Ghazaly, Richard Snyder, Nick Kolias, Madhu Gupta, Robert Weigel, and now Tim Lee. All of us in the THz community are grateful for your efforts behind the scenes.
