Dear Readers,
Hello, and welcome to Issue 9!
These two weeks are some of my favorite of the entire academic year. Over these short 10 days, the campus community celebrates Manhattan Madness, the university’s annual pep rally kicking off the beginning of the D1 basketball season, and Halloween Weekend, when students celebrate and excitedly show off their creativity in costumes both on and off campus. The energy during this time is always infectious, and it’s something I know I’ll miss most when I’m not here next fall.
As for what our staff has been working on (in addition to this week’s jam-packed issue), we’ve begun preparing for our
fall special issue. While the theme remains a surprise until publication, I can promise you that this one will be worth a read. I’m also excited to officially announce that this fall’s special issue will hit stands in print two weeks from today, on Nov. 11!
On this note, we’re still fundraising for our spring special issues and other expenses. You can donate anytime through our GoFundMe. For those on campus, our staff is also discussing ideas for additional fundraisers for the rest of this semester and into the spring – stay tuned for more!
For Issue 9, we have plenty of exciting coverage for you.
In news, we cover a new commuter residential program introduced by Residence Life last week, professor Winston Peters being named the interim president of the Bronx Economic Development Corporation and a Manhattan Caucus focused on the new media restrictions imposed by the Pentagon. In features, we cover KDP’s annual Boo at MU event and a student O’Malley School of Business forum. In A&E, we cover WRCM reviving their magazine and bring you a special middle-eastern Jasper Jams. Lastly, in sports, we cover Manhattan Madness and Games of the Week. We hope you’ll check it all out!
Until next time,
