Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to issue 6! I’m so glad you’ve joined us for yet another week of journalism.
On campus, we are kicking off exam season. Many students are gearing up for midterms in the coming weeks before spring break, and working overtime to get their preparations done. With the stress on campus, MU has once again brought back our annual Wellness Day, which will be celebrated tomorrow with cancelled classes, free activities and mental health education. This day is incredibly important to provide students with resources as we head into one of the most stressful times of the semester.
One of the reasons I am so excited about this issue is because we once again (for the first time since 2022!) are publishing an opinion piece from one of our writers! Opinion Editorials are a way for our writers, as well as members of the community, to comment on the issues most important to them. This provides me the perfect opportunity to remind you all that we can, and do, publish OpEds and Letters-to-the-Editor from members of our community! If you find yourself with something you think needs to be published in our paper, always feel free to submit to thequad@manhattan.edu.
In addition to our OpEd this week, we have some wonderful stories to bring to you. In news, we bring you the highlights from the first Manhattan University Senate meeting of the semester, along with an overview of Advocacy Day that some of our students recently attended in Albany. In features, we cover MU’s newest club, Quant Society, a lecture on AI from Engineering Week and a guest speaker on climate co-opetition. In A&E, we bring you Manhattan Magazine’s call for submissions, MU’s upcoming One Acts and a Jasper Jams. Lastly, in sports, we bring you an update on what’s new in athletics coming 2026 and a Games of the Week overview. We hope you’ll check it all out!
Until next time,
