Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to issue 6!
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for the immsense support we have received in the last week both on our change.org petition and on our GoFundMe. I have no updates as of now, but I can say your support has been a bright ray of sunshine for our staff in a bit of a gloomy time. We have loved reading everyone’s comments on the petition and connecting with some amazing Quad alumni.
We will be collecting donations for the rest of the semester on the GoFundMe, but especially for the next three weeks, in hopes of printing our special issue the week of November 4. You can click the link here to contribute – any amount, no matter how big or small, is a monumental help to us.
As crazy as it is to say, we’re already at midterms. I feel like it was just yesterday I was welcoming everyone back to campus for fall. This semester has been a busy one, and whether you’re a reader on or off campus, I hope you’ve been able to find a way to keep your head on straight. For me, this has looked like a lot of lit candles and a daily cup of tea, and it has honestly made a huge difference in my routine.
We have a great issue for you this week. In news, we feature Sonia Kredeinweis becoming the 19th Jasper, and second female Jasper, to ever be inducted into the National Academy of Engineering. We also spoke to some members of MU’s chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon about their win at the Lion Trophy Awards. In features, we attend the book launch of MU professor Grishma Shah and the It’s On Us Suicide Prevention event. In A&E, we talk to the new director of Pep Band and take on Scatterbomb’s first show. Lastly, in sports, we have an overview of last week’s games and a feature on Saturday afternoon’s men’s soccer match against Mount St. Mary’s. We hope you’ll check it all out!
Until next time,
