Letter from the Editor

Megan Gizinski | Editor Hi, everyone! It is with mixed feelings that I say goodbye as I gear up for graduation. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as one of your editors, and I would continue working on The Paw Print forever if I could. As I make my way around campus saying my “see you laters,” I would be remiss not to take this opportunity to shout out the people I will miss seeing the most. To all of my professors and the staff at WXLV, thank you for your unwavering support

Trisha Bloszinsky | Editor While I have a heavy heart saying goodbye to this semester and LCCC, I am relieved and excited to be moving onto future endeavors. To anyone else feeling like this semester piled on a few extra challenges, you’re not alone. Luckily, our Monday editor meetings always started my week off on a good note, and I’ve loved being able to see each writer grow through their work. I want to thank the journalism students for being adaptable as I know it can be

Megan Gizinski | Editor Hi, everyone! My name is Megan Gizinski, and I am elated to be one of the editors for the Spring 2026 semester! As a Visual Media major, I honestly did not expect to take any non-required writing classes, but when Professor Heimann approached me about Newspaper Production, I knew there was no way I was not going to let this be my final class.

Trisha Bloszinsky | Editor Hello readers! My name is Trisha, and I am an editor for The Paw Print this spring! I will be graduating in May with my degree in communications, and I am more than happy to be in this position as part of my closing semester. Outside of school and work, most of my time is spent playing video games and hanging out with my cat. (Shoutout cat moms!) Taking journalism last semester definitely required me to rewire my brain to get used to this new for

Naomi Kim | Editor Before I noticed, we have come incredibly close to the end of the Fall 2025 semester. Thank you to everyone who had written, edited, and read stories for The Paw Print. I’ve always been someone to overthink the small little details, which might be one of the reasons why I was selected to be an editor, but I hope that my bad habit has become a benefit for writers and readers alike. Editing someone else’s work like this is new to me, so I’m grateful for the

Ryan Gillott | Editor Hello, fellow editors, writers, and all PawPrint enthusiasts! This semester has been an amazing learning opportunity! I really enjoyed watching our writers grow throughout the semester. As the semester winds down and my time as an editor comes to an end, the feelings are bittersweet. I will miss the editor meetings every Monday, and I’ll miss opening a rough draft of a new story. It was one of the best parts about being an editor. But this experience w
