As I finish up my time as Editor-in-Chief of The Roundup, I hope that you have truly enjoyed the content we've produced, approved the enhancements we have made, and made the school newspaper a bigger part of your life. Last year I was handed over the reigns to a completely student-run organization with a solid writer base and latency beyond belief...
