Lawrence Ukenye

“I hope that we continue to be adversarial in the sense that, like, we take on a lot of topics that other outlets on campus don’t really focus on, like administration, the university’s budget, just stuff that like affects us but people don’t really think of right away, because it gets really like hard to look into,” Ukenye said.

Amelia Winger

Jack Danz

“I would really like for like section editors to be able to confidently pass down their relationships with sources in and around the university,” Danz said. “If you can start off with a  good relationship in August, you can start doing better reporting because you already have a relationship with the sources you’re talking to.”

Dante Collinelli
