Staff Writer: Ashley Garcia
Hey Bulldogs,
Well, the time has finally come. Today is the first issue of Spring 2022, but with that being said, today is also my last day as editor-in-chief of The Wingate Triangle.
I have enjoyed my time as editor these past few years. When I was asked to be the newest editor of what was then called The Weekly Triangle, I was only a freshman, but I felt extremely honored to be chosen for this position.
When I joined the staff, The Triangle was only online with hopes of bringing the print version back to campus. At this time, I can say proudly that I was able to bring back eight print issues before COVID-19 hit the world. Once COVID came around, we had to go back online due to the fact that many students didn’t return to campus that following school year and all events went virtual. This made things a tad difficult when trying to find something to write about.
The position allowed me to learn many new things, make new connections, friendships, and expand my writing and editing skills, which I will forever be grateful for.
But now that my last semester at Wingate has begun, my time at The Triangle has come to an end.
With this being said, I am excited to announce that the new editor-in-chief who will be taking over this semester is junior education major, David McCallister.
McCallister has been working on The Triangle staff for a year now, and I have been working with him for a few semesters to show him the ropes of being the editor. I am confident that he will continue to do amazing things with the paper.
Thank you Wingate Triangle for giving freshman me a chance to work for the paper and allowing me to help it grow into what it is today.
Best,
Ashley Garcia
