Hello readers!
Long time no see! Welcome to issue 11 of The Quadrangle – I hope everyone had a great Easter break last week, and is mentally prepared to get back to a full official week of classes.
Before we begin, I’d like to share some exciting news: in just two weeks, we will be publishing our second print issue of the semester, our special issue! Our spring special issue is super beloved among the campus community, as it not only encompasses our wonderful writing, but also features our Quad 10 which highlights deserving and influential seniors around the school. This issue is exciting for so many people on campus, but we need our readers’ help in order to make it come to fruition: if you’d like to help out, please consider donating to our GoFundMe page. Your support and viewership means more than you know!
Now, this week’s issue is hefty, with a few major news stories. First, our breaking one: Springfest is bringing rapper Jadakiss to Manhattan! He will headline our Springfest concert, which is this weekend, April 18 – get ready for a good show! Next, we cover the OMSB’ Annual Innovation Challenge, which saw three student group winners, as well as the new public history minor to be offered beginning next semester. Following that, we speak to Lawrence Udeigwe, Ph.D., about his recent position appointment with the ARCH Initiative, and admissions covering the first Accepted Students Day of the semester. Ending off, read our Manhattan Caucus to learn more about the recent Iran ceasefire agreement.
In features, we cover the Asian Student Association’s matcha and onigiri fundraiser, and their continued efforts to share their cultures with the student body through these cultural-food based fundraisers. To end off the section, we have a quick Quad-Staff Q&A; it’s been a while since we’ve had one of these columns in our issue, so be sure to give it a read and gain some insight on some of the writers behind your favorite stories!
In A&E, we cover two exhibitions at MU: first, Sanctus Artem hosted “The MET MU” showcase, where the entire student body was invited to submit their work and have it displayed for the show. Next, O’Malley Library has filled its exhibition space with new works, these ones from artist Marcel Roux. This exhibition was done in collaboration with the Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Center, and will be on display until this Friday, April 17. Be sure to stop by the library to check it out.
Ending off with sports, read about men’s volleyball’s inaugural season, ending off on a good note and certainly cementing themselves as a known force around the school. Finally, catch up with our sports teams with our games of the week column.
That’s all for this week. Thank you for reading!
See you next time,
