I recognize that my recent Editorials have focused heavily on more difficult topics. This time, I want to take a moment to highlight some positivity that has emerged since the release of “Stevens doesn’t know what they have until it’s gone.”

Jiya is a 4/4 Biomedical Engineering student pursuing a minor in Literature. She has previously served as a layout assistant a, layout editor, and is currently the Editor in Chief for The Stute.
The Stute released its first Staff Op-Ed on October 9, 2026. This was not a decision that any of us took lightly.
When I came in as Editor-in-Chief, I wanted to change the little things. I advocated for uniform opinion columnist headshots, more events, more themed general body meetings (GBMs), and more collabs — things of that nature.
My last editorial expressed my concerns about how the administration hides behind its PR responses. And I would not be honest if I did not acknowledge how my week, once again, was consumed by issues revolving around the administration.
This past week, we attracted many new writers to The Stute. It is the wave of freshman interest, and there is both delight and worry in this.
Welcome back Stuters!!
This summer not only changed the way I view The Stute but reassured me that we have a strong year ahead of us!
This weekend, I came back from home to find pages of The Stute torn and stomped on outside my room, scattered across the hallway.
I feel terrible when I miss meetings. I genuinely enjoy being there and speaking with all of the staff. I find those meetings not only about the newspaper, but about us.
I have tabled for The Stute for every Admitted Students Weekend, for as long as I have been at Stevens. I have always loved speaking to prospective students and parents, not only about the organization, but also about my time at Stevens!
Last year was the beginning of my first term as Editor-in-Chief. I try to write as candidly as possible, and I truly believe that each Editorial last year was an accurate representation of each week as Editor-in-Chief.
