Dear Readers,

Welcome back, we’ve missed you! As promised, our staff has returned well-rested and ready to write after our spring break hiatus. 

These last two weeks have been full of many newsworthy events, including a recent open forum held by the president (covered in news!), the MAAC tournament (covered in sports!) and so much more happening on and around campus that we can’t wait for you to catch up on. 

Over our break, our team was hard at work behind the scenes and we are finally ready to announce that we are competing in the 2024 Media Madness Competition! This competition, hosted by Arizona State University and first created by Syracuse University, is designed to help college newspapers compete against one another to see who can fundraise the most. This year, The Quadrangle is one of 20 publications participating nationwide. As our supportive readers, we ask that if you’re able, you’ll consider contributing to our GoFundMe, or if not, you’re able to repost and share our content at this time. The competition runs from March 24 to April 8, and we’re hoping that with your help, we can get on the leaderboard! All proceeds will go to helping us print issues of our paper, something we’ve been unable to do regularly since our budget was cut last fall. 

Next week, we’ll take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to bring you the 43rd issue of The Triangle, our annual satirical issue celebrating April Fool’s day. While unfortunately we won’t be posting these stories online (because we’d spreading fake news…sort of) you will still be able to find the issue posted in our archives here.

For those who will be celebrating Easter at the end of this week, I hope that you have a lovely holiday spent with those you love. Maybe we’ll even get some sun!

Until next time,
