Last but certainly not least, it's time to say farewell to our Editor-in-Chief Grace Teachout.

Grace has been a shining example of the fact that you do not need to be a journalism or related major to be a successful journalist. Grace is a third year majoring in a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Printmedia. In the three years they have been with Western Herald, they have continued to show their dedication and love for the craft as they've gone from a staff reporter, to a lead reporter, to an editor, to Editor-in-Chief. This year and this organization would not be the same without them, and we can't wait to see what they create as they go into their senior year at WMU
