Dear Readers,

Welcome to issue three! The last week was jam-packed with activity on campus and in our community.

In our issue this week, you may notice that we have reintroduced our long-running political column, Manhattan Caucus. After last week’s debate brought up even more to discuss regarding November’s presidential election, our team found it important to bring back our rundown of all things politics to keep our readers informed. We pride ourself on bringing you factual, unbiased information always, but especially in this time of turmoil. If you missed Tuesday’s debate, or want some help debriefing the event, be sure to check it out!

For the rest of this week’s issue, we have no shortage of content. In news, we continue to introduce the campus community to its new faculty and administrators, this week focusing on the new associate deans of the School of Engineering and the Kakos School of Arts and Sciences. In features, we chatted with the biology club on campus and cover greek life rush week. For A&E, we sat down with Players to talk all things fall cabaret and their
recently announced mainstage production. Lastly, in sports, we cover the men’s soccer game against Columbia, the university’s athletic director earning a pretigious appointment, and the dance and cheer teams’ kick-off for their seasons. Give it all a read!

New York City had beautiful weather this week. No matter where you’re reading from, I encourage you all to take a moment to reconnect with nature on these final warm sunny days before fall turns the corner and cooler weather comes our way. I myself took a few walks around the Bronx this weekend and felt refreshed after letting the sun hit my face while I listened to my favorite music. Self care is health care!

As I mentioned last week, we have changed some of our social media handles to represent the institution’s transition from a college into a university. You can now find us @mu_quad on Instagram and X. I also encourage you all to follow us on TikTok, @muquad_. We have brand new content coming your way very
soon!

Until next time,
