Dear Otter Nation,

The Otter Realm has enjoyed writing and reporting for you this past semester.
We all look forward to Winter Break and this will be the last issue we have before the break begins. Remember to pick up an issue of the Otter Realm before heading off campus!
This is also the last issue that Editor-In-Chief Lindsay Cesmat will be with us. Cesmat is graduating this year, along with a few others from our staff. Next semester, Laura Newell will be the Otter Realm’s newest editor-in-chief.
Next semester, look for new faces and new additions to our staff. We anticipate seeing a larger increase of freshman to our staff as we are now accepting freshman. If you feel that you can make a great contribution to the newspaper you can register for the class, HCOM 389, or you can join our club. If neither of these options work for you, and you still feel the need to write, the Otter Realm welcomes freelance work.
We here at the Otter Realm hope that all of you have a fun and relaxing break this winter, and for those of you graduating this semester, congratulations.

Sincerely,

Mary Freeman
Assistant News Editor
