Over the last year, Weldon has broken ground and set foundations. Now, we need to decide what to build. The desire to lift, learn, rise, raze, change, and create can be found within these pages. This is our largest issue yet, and that's for a good reason: student voices need to be heard. Our community needs a chance to breath, experience joy, and prepare for the future. In The Weldon Times' Winter 2025 issue, the paths forward for our local and larger communities are considered. Whether you're looking for a Y2K-esque quiz, resources for future clients, harsh truths, or surprising stories, this issue has something for you. Enjoy.
