After years of hard work, we now celebrate the unwavering courage and fierce spirit of our storytellers who dared to pursue the truth, purvey wisdom, and light the torch of the people left in the dark. Your commitment to becoming an avenue for untold stories has helped in shaping The Louisian Torch into more than just a publicationโ€” it has become a voice, a platform, and most of all, a family.

As you leave our campus and expose yourself to greater horizons, know that the fire that you have ignited while being a dedicated journalist will not dim but spread. It will live in all of us who remain, carry on with the same blaze and purpose, and someday pass it on just as you have passed it to us.

We will always be proud to be part of your history, and your names will be forever engraved herein. May your next chapter be filled with success, happiness, and everything else you have dreamed of.

Congratulations and radiate with passion, Torch Graduates of 2025!
