Inspired by a class discussion about the media bias surrounding Chicago's current migrant crisis, Harper graduate Grant Hochmuth took the initiative and decided to do his own reporting on the issue. When all was said and done, not only did he gain a clearer picture on what it means to be a "sanctuary city," but he also gained valuable insight on what it means to be a journalist.

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am a writer and reporter for the Harbinger. This is my first year at Harper and my major is communications. In the future, I hope to pursue a career as a journalist and possibly be a reporter for a news station. I love to write feature stories, produce podcasts, and occasionally I write reviews. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, thrifting, listening to all types of music, and trying new food. I hope you enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoy writing it!
