Dear Readers,

Welcome to issue 8! We’re so glad you’re here. 

This week has been nothing short of packed. As you may have seen in news, Manhattan University welcomed Miss America 2024 to campus this past week for a meet and greet.  I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing her for The Quadrangle and chatted with her for almost an hour afterward. She is truly such an empowering person and it was an honor to speak with her. Read more about it here!

This week also gave me the opportunity to speak with my high school journalism class about my role on The Quadrangle and my experience as a journalist in the professional world. It felt so rewarding to be able to return to my roots and speak to students eager to listen about something I truly love to do. Who knows, in a few years you may see one of their names on this page – it’s happened before! This being said, I encourage you all to remember to put energy into the things that rejuvenate you. Resinspire yourself with the things you love – you never know who else you may inspire along the way. 

This week in issue 8, we have a great mix of stories and columns for you to check out. In news, we spoke to the Society of Women Engineers as they gear up to travel to their annual conference in Chicago. We also do a deep dive into recent student work-study cuts, this time targeting the campus fitness center. In features, we showcase a panel on AI with a special guest from Microsoft and survey students about their plans for Halloweekend as it quickly approaches. In A&E, we talk to the students behind a new Instagram account featuring the best outfits on campus, as well as fall fashion finds and a Dunkin’ themed Jasper Jams! Lastly in sports, we talk about Manhattan University’s 52nd Cross Country Invitational and Jasper Games of the Week. We hope you’ll spend some time checking it all out. 

Until next time,
