Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to issue 8!
Saturday marked International Women’s Day, and I hope you all took the opportunity to appreciate and celebrate the women in your life a little extra. I’m always grateful for any opportunity to celebrate the strength and accomplishments of the women who surround me, support me and inspire me everyday, and this weekend provided the perfect occasion to do so. In keeping with the holiday, we have many articles highlighting some amazing women on campus this week. In news, we discuss Brianna Armstrong being awarded as a Top Performer for her work with MU’s AFROTC. Features is filled with female accomplishments, as we highlight International Women’s Day tabling on campus, some incredible female students who presented their work at the Eastern Psychological Association conference this past weekend and a SHPE event on campus celebrating Hispanic women in STEM. We hope you’ll check them all out!
In addition to International Women’s Day, students held their annual Manhatty’s Day celebrations this past weekend, as a prequel to St. Patrick’s Day and spring break. Surrounding campus was a sea of green, music and laughter as many took part in backyard celebrations with friends. Saturday also marked Senior Day for men’s basketball, which proved to have a large turnout amongst the other festivities taking place on the day.
Speaking of spring break, this is my reminder that The Quadrangle will (sadly) not be releasing an issue next week on 3/18 as our staff enjoys some rest and relaxation mid semester with a well-deserved week off. We will be hard at work to bring you an amazing issue 9 once we return on the 25th.
I’d also like to announce that we have once again kicked off our spring fundraising efforts to help support our spring print issues, as well as our end-of-year traditions that celebrate our staff and our graduating seniors. We will be keeping the fundraiser open throughout the end of the spring semester. Any amount, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you’re not able to help support financially, we ask that you share our donation link with friends, family and across social media. Our staff is so incredibly grateful for any assistance you’re able to give to help us do what we do best and love most. Anything fundraised over the amount needed will carry over to support our printing efforts this fall. Our donation link can be found here.
Until next time,
