Dear Hawkeye readers,

It has been my pleasure to serve as Editor-in-Chief for this newspaper the past semester. I have enjoyed reading all of the comments and critiques, and I know the paper will only continue to rise from here with the amazing staff we have on our team.

However, contrary to what is stated in my recent “My ULM” article, I am no longer the Editor-in-Chief of this paper. It is with fond regard that I step down from my position in hopes to finish my college degree to the best of my ability.

This has been an experience that has helped me grow and learn more about leadership and what it means to conduct something as involved as a weekly publication. However, we are all in college for our respective degrees, and it is time for me to work as hard as I can to finish mine successfully.

Although I am handing off the baton (to the very capable Cole Avery), I hope to still contribute to this paper with emphasis on my concentration of graphic design in the form of illustrations and overall design. I hope you will continue to look forward to seeing the Hawkeye online and around campus.

Welcome back to the Spring 2012 semester. I hope it is a great one, especially for others looking forward to graduating this May.

It has been a sincere pleasure working with this staff, and I know this paper will only keep getting better and better.

Sincerely,

Kelsey Hargrove
