Hello and welcome to issue 6!
We have an exciting week for news this week with lots of stories to cover! First, we discuss the most recent senate meeting, where the Microsoft switch, new lounges in Kelly Commons and dining improvements were mentioned. Jasper engineers also have a big week coming up, with national engineering week and an exciting ARCHtalk, with speaker Dr. Anthony Mercando ‘76, taking place soon. Next we talk about Michael Dowling, the CEO Emeritus of Northwell Health, and his recent talk at MU where he presented his personal memoir. Finally, in our Manhattan Caucus, you can learn more about the growing tensions between the U.S. and Iran currently.
Up next in features we have articles highlighting two great campus organizations: the Jasper Dancers and Black Student Union. The Jasper Dancers held a garage sale last Tuesday, a team fundraising ‘tradition,’ for them. BSU hosted a student panel highlighting Black Excellence, specifically in the athletic realm – panelists such as coaches, athletic alumni and current student athletes were featured to share their thoughts during this conversation – definitely a great read!
In our A&E section, you can read all about the holiday spirit that floated around campus during the week with the different club events that celebrated Valentine’s Day. We also have a fantastic Jasper Jams highlighting Hispanic classics written by our A&E section editor herself (so I would trust her opinion)!
Finally, in sports, you can find an introduction to the amazing sports broadcasters and announcers that we have right here on campus, as well as a quick games of the week recap. While baseball found success, men’s basketball took an unfortunate loss against Marist University.
Be sure to check out these articles and stay tuned for our upcoming issue!
See you next time,
