As this year comes to the end, many Pioneer staff members are leaving Pierce College or transferring. It’s been a long and interesting year working with these people. The office has been filled with many laughs and many frustrations, but they will all be greatly missed as fellow co-workers.

We’d like to thank all the departments, faculty, staff, and students that have given the Pioneer story ideas and wonderful assistance. It has been a great year, with non-stop action throughout the campus.

Although it’s sad to see so many people leaving, it’ll be fun to get to meet and get to know all the new faces that will be around campus. A fresh breath of air is always relaxing and relieving for everyone.

We all at the Pioneer want to wish everyone luck with future careers and opportunities that may come along the way.

Last but not least we all want to give thanks to the Pioneer’s advisor Michael Parks for all the good advice and help. It was a great growing experience for everyone who was learning the ropes of journalistic reporting.
