Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to Issue 1!
I hope all of you on campus have had an amazing first week of classes, and I hope that the rest of you found some time for rest and relaxation this summer!
Over our season off, The Quadrangle earned multiple awards from the Catholic Media Association, once again making us a nationally recognized publication. We had writers win first place in categories including Best Article About Faith on Campus and Best News Reporting, second place in the category of Best Investigative Reporting, third place in Best News Reporting and Best Investigative Reporting, and last, but certainly not least, honorable mentions in the Best Article About Faith on Campus and Best Investigative Reporting categories. We couldn’t be more proud of our accomplished writers and hope that you’ll join us in congratulating them on these incredible achievements! If you’d like to check out the winning stories, they’re all linked in the bio of our Instagram.
Speaking of Instagram, with the new academic year comes new advancements. I’m happy to announce that The Quadrangle has launched a brand new channel on our Instagram account that you can easily join via our bio. This channel will be live five days a week, and is dedicated to bringing breaking news, web exclusive content and highlights from our weekly issues directly to your DMs. We’ll be experimenting with this throughout the fall, and we’d love to have you follow along!
Not only was campus abuzz with the excitement of new classes this week, but with the hum of production equipment and set design galore. The university was thrilled to welcome “Law & Order: SVU” to campus this past Wednesday for the filming of an episode, and students couldn’t have been more excited to witness TV magic happening in real-time and for the chance to catch a glimpse of the beloved Mariska Hargitay on the quad. I can say with confidence that this was certainly a first week back to remember!
We’re so happy to be back, and we’re even happier that you’re here. As I enter my final semester on campus and leading this publication, the work that we’re putting out week to week feels all the more important. Cheers to another fall of fantastic journalism, and the readers who make it all worth it.
Until next time,
