As I pen this message to you all, I am currently overseeing the first fall issue of a publication historically committed to speaking for now over 30,000 students.
I pen this from a position of leadership I never thought was possible — the chief editor of the Sentinel, the 2018 KSU Organization of the Year. I pen this as the successor to the gifted 2018 Student of the Year, Cory Hancock.
I pen this with a promise to my staff, new and old, to mentor and to mold them to be better journalists than prior to meeting me. I pen this with a promise to my editorial staff to always make this journey as soothing as possible and mentor them the best way I can.
I pen this welcoming all questions, comments, concerns, suggestions and tips, for I will be the first to admit that I am far from perfect and will likely fall sometimes before I pick up momentum.
Lastly, I pen this with the ambition to bring you news coverage that you can continue to depend on and look forward to reading every week. I pen this with the intent to show this school just how amazing their fellow classmates, faculty and administration can be, and always, I pen this to continue to promote transparency within this community.
