A Letter From the Editor

Mon, 11 May 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Dear Readers,

Graduation night has come and gone, which means it is time for me to say my final farewell.

Last Thursday, the UW-Richland Student Senate hosted an outdoor movie night with an attendance of about thirty people. The outdoor movie night has been attempted before, but due to the weather, it was forced to move inside.

"I think it went really well," said Student Senate President, Stephanie McCarthy.
