Letter from the Editor

Jada Budhoo | Editor

Dear PawPrint Readers,

My name is Jada Budhoo. This semester, I was enlightened to be an editor for the PawPrint. I felt empowered with the responsibility I acquired the moment I was selected from the journalism class in the previous year. As I peered through students’ articles and blogs, I was abruptly exposed to perspective along with new ideas. Not only did I get constructive feedback from my associates and instructor, I also received an outsider's view on authenticity.

This experience challenged me to think beyond my own lens and to appreciate the raw, unfiltered voices of my peers. It taught me that journalism is not just about reporting facts; it’s about embracing humanity in its many forms. Every piece I read revealed a different layer of creativity, courage, and truth. As an editor, I learned the importance of nurturing a writer’s voice rather than reshaping it. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to witness and help shape stories that reflect the diverse spirit of our student body.

Thank you for supporting the PawPrint and for being part of this vibrant community of storytellers.

Sincerely,Jada Budhoo
