The Midway staff will take a break from publishing over spring break except in the event of breaking news after after a busy fall and winter season.

Dear readers,

Over the course of this year, the Midway has strived for consistently high-quality journalism and well-rounded reporting.

We are pleased to see how the Midway has developed and diversified coverage over this year and we look forward to continuing this growth into the end of the 99th edition.

After busy fall and winter seasons, the staff will take a break from publishing over spring break except in the event of breaking news. Some stories that were already complete have been scheduled for publication over the next few days.

During this break, we encourage students to catch up on stories they may have missed and stay up to date by following the Midway on instagram @uhighmidway.

Sincerely,

Audrey, Katie, Sahana
