Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to issue 7! We’ve officially passed the halfway mark of the semester, and I am so grateful you’ve continued to stick with us.
First and foremost this week, I’d like to draw your attention to an article published as an online exclusive last Friday. Manhattan University and Quadrangle alumnus Jeremy Loffredo, ‘19, was detained while reporting in Israel last Wednesday. While he has since been released, he is not free to leave the country until Oct. 20. Loffredo is one of five journalists detained last week and is one of many others who have suffered due to reporting on the Israel-Gaza conflict. The Quadrangle stands in solidarity with Loffredo and all journalists working tirelessly to bring these paramount stories to light. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. The most current information we have available as of Oct. 14 can be read here.
On another note, we are still fundraising to be able to print our 100 years issue in just two short weeks. We are so close to our goal! Thank you to all who have already donated, we appreciate you more than you know. Even if you are not in a position to currently donate, it is an enormous help when you share our fundraiser with family, friends and across social media. The link to our GoFundMe is here. I promise, we plan to make this issue worth your while!
As for this week in issue 7, we have some notable stories for you to check out. In news, we welcome a new residence life director and follow the MU radiation therapy technology department to their annual conference in Washington D.C. In features, we showcase the Rainbow Jaspers’ annual coming out dinner and MU’s resources for midterm success.

Until next time,
