Hey you!

Don’t just toss this paper to your parents. There’s some spicy, unfiltered takes on Stevens, college life, and freshman year packed in here for ya. (You can read about sex on Page 3.) Every year we create a special “Orientation Issue,” filled with tips and tricks for freshmen from former freshmen. From on and off campus dining, to rushing a fraternity or sorority, or how to set yourself up for success, we’ve got you. You might be thinking, “Bleh, newspapers are dumb and boring.” That’s where you’re wrong. We’re students, just like you, committed to making Stevens a better experience for us all. You don’t have to worry about us trying to sell you anything, or sucking up to any group of people. We don’t get paid for this. We just want to share the Stevens experience as it is — not just the news that the community wants to know, but also needs to know. You can subscribe to us online or pick up a physical copy around campus for your weekly dose of Stevens politics, campus news, events, construction updates, etc. We also sometimes do little features on the people at Stevens, like you and me! From bringing attention to President Farvardin’s salary to Juuling on campus, we’re breaking the boundaries of what you probably know as a school newspaper. From your first year at Stevens until your last, we’ll hope you follow us, read us, or even write for us at some point. Like our school motto, per aspera ad astra (through adversity to the stars), nothing great ever comes without much enduring, and you better believe that’s what Stevens is all about. Your journey has just begun, and we’re rooting for you!
