Words are powerful, and change is possible. That is perhaps the greatest lesson I have learned throughout my tenure on the KO News. I began my journey with the KO News sophomore year, when I took journalism. I have always enjoyed writing, and this course deepened my love in ways I did not expect. It […]

Senior pranks. Where are they? We at the KO News know they exist, but they have always semed like they are mostly lackluster and completely inconvenient.
