We made it! Kind of. At the very least, we’re almost there to the end of the semester! In the meantime, we just published the last issue of the semester, both in print and online.

Be sure to read former Sorority Council President Mary Courtney Finn’s article reflecting on Greek Life, our Editor-in-Chief’s article on the Stirling’s craft table, and our Sports Editor’s feature on Sewanee’s incredibly impressive men’s lacrosse team.

Issue 5 post desc
Well, would you look at that? Sparty has come and gone (to the joy of some and dismay of others), and exams are on the horizon. Want a break from studying? Read our fifth issue, available in print and online! Junior Editor Graci Vlattas (C ’29) researched the spread of malicious fire alarms on campus and their impacts. Also, contributing writer Melody Norman has much to say on students distracted by their screens in class. And former EIC Lizzy Donker returns as Executive Editor Sanjana Priyonti profiles her growth as a student journalist.
