Letter from the Editor

Hi Friends!  

Welcome to the second to last issue of the fall semester! I can’t begin to express my gratitude to the team who have worked so hard this semester to make sure we have content and stories for all our wonderful readers. My time as the editor is sneakily coming to an end, and I refuse to accept it!  

This issue is a special one, for many reasons. First, we have a lot of new journalists being published for the very first time! It absolutely warms my heart that it’s the Star that’s making it happen! I remember my first time being published. It truly is a magical moment in the life of a journalist. So, if you recognize the names of our new contributing writers and you see them on campus, go ahead and congratulate them for their reporting and beginning their journey as journalists!  

Secondly, this issue’s theme for #PhotosfortheStar is centered on what we are thankful for. Now, I don’t know about you, but Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday. The food, the friends, the family and the gratitude. It’s so heartwarming. These photos showcase people, things, or even places in our staff’s lives that they are thankful for. Keep an eye out for my three dogs! Share your photos and what you’re thankful for on your social media accounts using #PhotosfortheStar.  

I encourage you to take some time to reflect and truly think about what you are thankful for. It’s been a crazy semester, I’m sure, but we’re almost coming to an end! Give yourself a moment of peace and serenity and tap into what keeps you going every day.  

Lastly, as I previously mentioned, this is our second to last issue of the semester. We only have one more issue before we finish the semester! So, thank you to our readers for their continued support. Send us story ideas and follow our social media accounts to stay updated on any new information that comes.  

Thanks, friends!
