From the editor — Winter 2014/2015

Now that we are passing the mid-point of the academic year, I would like to thank everyone for being so supportive of the new form that the Harbinger has taken. Changing from a newspaper to a magazine-style publication has been a challenge for our office, financially, artistically and logistically, but we have risen to the challenge with your support.

As we enter the second half of our year, the Harbinger will continue to evolve and grow. With our first ever paid graphic designer, Jeremiah Owens, on staff, we may even be making significant visual changes to the magazine format that we have used thus far. Eventually, we will settle down with a theme that works best.

There is something that we need you all to do, however. Spread the word that we are looking to train students to be next year’s staff. Six of our seven editors will be graduating this semester, so we really do need more students to learn about the opportunities that are here for them. Most of our editorial positions even pay.

Students who are reading this are more than welcome to contact me with any questions, and staff and faculty are encouraged to share these opportunities (and my contact info) with any of their students.

Lastly, I want to bring up our new online event calendar. In addition to printing a list of many events on our Engage page, we are now using a Google calendar to give anyone access to our electronic campus event calendar that we can update in real time. If you would like to add this calendar to your Gmail account or your smartphone (Apple or Android), scan the QR code on our Engage page or follow the address listed there.
