On Monday, Oct. 20, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was shut down most of the day, leaving many websites and apps that run on the web service, like Canvas, unusable. This shutdown left Butler Community College at a standstill, as classes either had to improvise for the day or just be cancelled.

Since the 2024-2025 school year at Butler is coming to an end, this will be my final issue of The Lantern, although I will continue working for the newspaper this summer.
