Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome back!
While we missed you last week, members of our campus enjoyed a well-deserved week off filled with rest and relaxation. The Quadrangle had staff traveling all over, from Ireland and London to California and Tennessee. I myself spent the week off back home in Rochester, NY, appreciating the little things I miss when I’m gone for 10 months of the year. My favorite coffee shops, walks along the Erie Canal and visiting friends filled my week, and I could not have wished for a better way to spend it.
Since it’s been two weeks since we last checked in, we’re bringing you everything that’s been going on around campus. For this issue, I had the honor of covering Scatterbomb, MU’s comedy/improv group, as they took on their first-ever competition alongside other prestigious NYC groups at the legendary Upright Citizen’s Brigade theatre. Be sure to check it out – these students truly put their all into representing MU in the best way possible.
It would not be a spring lettidor without a gentle reminder that we are still fundraising to support our spring print issues and other spring Quadrangle traditions! We have yet to receive any donations and appreciate absolutely anything you have to contribute. As I mentioned in our previous issue, we will be keeping the fundraiser open throughout the end of the spring semester. Even 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 donation link can be found here.
Next week, I am also happy to announce that we will be bringing you a very special double issue, half in print and half online. This issue is a tradition at MU and has been since the 1980s, and it brings our staff and me immense joy to put it together for you once again. If you know, you know… if you don’t, be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
As I mentioned, this issue is full of everything you may have missed the last two weeks. In news, we discuss Hany Guirguis’ transition into a permanent dean role along with new majors in the kinesiology department. In features, we review Justin Torres’ visit to campus and the rebirth of the JustPeace club on campus. In A&E, in addition to Scatterbomb’s competition, we cover a fantastic student mural in progress and bring you a spring-edition Jasper Jams. Lastly, in sports, we cover the Games of the Week. We hope you’ll check it all out!
Until next time,
