ABBY TURNER
OUTGOING EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Being a part of The Wichitan has meant everything to me. My first two years I was nervous to get involved with the paper, but after hearing about the friendships and the culture there, I decided to go to a meeting to see what it was about. From there the rest is history.
Without The Wichitan, I would not be where I am. I would also not have half the friendships that I have now.
For those of you who are hesitant to join, take a chance and just do it. You
don’t want to be left wondering what could have been.
For the people I worked with at The Wichitan I could not be more thankful for y’all and then encouragement and support yall have given me. I will cherish our memories forever. Thank you!

A LETTER FROM THE INCOMING EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
SABRINA HARRISON
We here at The Wichitan are incredibly grateful for all of our peers who have worked and collaborated with us. I am grateful for our incredible editor-in-chief and am honored to take on the position after her.
I am also grateful for all of the incredible writers, reporters and content creators I have worked with.
Without the hard work of students, this paper would not be possible. I think it is safe to say that we are incredibly excited to see what next semester brings for those of us continuing our education here at MSU. But for those who will be continuing their journey else where, we at The Wichitan wish you the best of luck!
