Joining Western Michigan University’s community with thousands of other students can be an intimidating thought. But with over 300 registered student organizations (RSOs), every Bronco has a space to shine.
Then Lead C&C Reporter Aya Miller laughs as the first pitch meeting of the year begins with sharing stories from over break. Now Editor in Chief, Aya becomes the first sophomore in Western Herald history to take the position. Spencer Mathews

Western Heraldâs Editorial Board, excluding the sports section, is being terminated following an insurrection attempt against the Conqueror-in-Chief (CIC).Â
The attempt, spearheaded by former News Editor Chloe Miller, was to take place on April 1. Chloe and her fellow former Editorial Board members planned to overtake Faunce Student Services and break down the door to the CIC office, where she assumed current CIC, Aya Miller would be working.Â

Before the spring semester of the 2018-19 school year, I had thought many times about joining the Western Herald to potentially see what I could do to contribute to the sports section.
I was coasting along with my schoolwork while writing for a couple different online sports websites and I had planned on continuing down that road. Living 35 minutes off campus, that was just too big of a logistical challenge to commit myself to anything that occurred on campus outside of my classes, especially with the other jobs I held in my hometown.
But things changed during that semester after a conversation I had in my News Writing and Reporting class with former editor-in-chief of the Herald (sports editor at the time), and now a good friend of mine and MLive reporter, Samuel Robinson.
