Letter from the Editor: The Cougar welcomes new editor in chief Outgoing editor in chief Jhair Romero. | Trevor Nolley/The Cougar When I became editor in chief of The Cougar, just months after the coronavirus pandemic took hold, my goal for the newspaper was to meet the moment. I knew our responsibility as the University’s student news organization was to keep our community informed of the crisis that was disrupting our lives. A year later, I couldn’t be more proud of the work this organization has done to accomplish that goal. From our COVID-19 tracker to our coverage of life at UH during a public health crisis, The Cougar’s staff continuously put its best foot forward for the UH community.
