Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to issue 7!
It’s hard to believe that we are just about halfway through the semester already. Time is flying by as it always mysteriously does, and I’m so grateful you’ve taken some out of your day to spend with us.
This letter is one I have been excited about writing for a few weeks now, because it contains the announcement of our Springfest artist! Depending on whether you’re joining us from our website or on Issuu, you may have already seen our announcement on the front cover. I am very pleased to (once again) announce that this year’s artist will be 30H!3 ! The band is a hip-hop duo from the early 2000’s, and I could not be more excited that we are once again able to welcome an artist to campus after last year’s brief hiatus. I am so grateful to have the honor of making the official announcement, as the sitting Editor-in-Chief of The Quadrangle has done for many years. Check out our story in news for more info on what students can expect from this year’s fest!
Since we last checked in, MU hosted its annual Wellness Day. The event was held last Wednesday, with all classes cancelled and events including pilates, a hot cocoa truck, painting and so much more. Wellness Day is an important day for physical and mental health advocacy and education on our campus, and I want to give a big shoutout to those who put countless hours into organizing this incredibly special event. Check out our photo spread of the event and article in features!
As for everything else this week, we have a lot to share with you all. In news, we overview the upcoming changes in Residence Life along with highlighting MU students’ accomplishments at the NYWEA 2025 Annual Meeting. In features, we cover a lecture hosted by the HGI on campus and WGRC’s first-ever gender affirming clothing drive. In A&E this week, we cover the MU Players’ student slot production and Pipes and Drums as they head into parade season. Lastly, in sports, we discuss track and field’s many wins at the MAAC Championship and the Lady Jaspers clinching their own championship spot. We hope you’ll take some time to check it all out!
Until next time,
