Friday night we all gathered at the Augustin Alumni Center for our Student Publications Banquet. We had our largest group ever to honor with 34 graduating seniors from both the WKU Herald and the Talisman. It was a great night where we saw the passing of the name plates to the new editors as well as celebrating the fellowships we gave away earlier in the semester and announced our scholarship winners for next year. Congratulations to everyone for a great semester and we hope everyone has a great summer!
