The Horizon Weekly Newsletter for Dec. 14

News and information produced by students at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Washington

Editor's Note December 2022

The fall quarter is behind us and the winter season is beginning - which for me means cuddling with the puppy, hot tea, and catching up on movies and television.

We are finalizing the print magazine we have designed to highlight student-submitted writing and art alongside some of our favorite news stories from The Horizon this quarter. Look for the Orca Spyhop in the usual places around campus in January.

The Horizon will be looking for student submissions again for winter quarter, including essays, poetry, illustrations, and photography. Please send to horizon@whatcom.edu by Valentine's Day (Feb. 14).

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Be well,

Erik Cruz
