Dear Readers, 

Hello, and welcome to issue 11!

Last time we checked in, it was Election Night in the U.S. I hope you all used your voice and power to vote, because it is truly a privilege to get to do so. No matter your feelings on the election results, it is more important than ever to stay informed. Whether you check in with us for a weekly dose of campus news, a local newspaper for your town or city, or a national publication, understanding what’s going on in our world is vital to having informed and educated conversations with one another. With a highly-anticipated election inevitably comes feelings of uncertainty, so be sure to decompress and take care of yourself in whatever way you find works for you.  

Here at MU, it’s been a busy week. The Quadrangle successfully celebrated 100 years of news last Thursday, and with the help of all of you, campus was able to see our stories in print! Our staff and I could not be more thankful for the support you all have given us to make this possible. If you have yet to check it out, all stories are available on our website! I hope you have as much of a blast reading them as we had writing them. 

As for issue 11, we have plenty new for you to read. In news, we discuss professor Bridget Chalk’s second-ever book release, notable items from the recent EAC meeting and an engineering challenge on campus. In features, we introduce the beloved An Beal Bocht’s sister pubs across the city and a talk held with business alumnus Joseph Begley ‘91. In A&E, we cover MU Players’ recently announced Student Slot production and a faculty recital. Lastly, in sports, we reflect on the season of MU cross country and profile the games of the last week. We hope you’ll take some time to check it all out!

Until next time,
