Ali, Editor-in-Chief:
As you pick up this Orientation Edition of the Reporter, I hope you can see the excitement in every page that was curated by our fantastic new editorial staff, our Creative Team designers, and maybe a teaspoon of new year jitters. As this year’s Editor in Chief, I am delighted to see the passion in this edition and the ambition for every edition upcoming just you wait!
Sara, Executive Editor:
This Orientation Edition of the Reporter is sponsored by the incredible editor team, a little too much caffeine and all the summer orientation students who graciously contributed their questions. As I step into the role of Executive Editor for the first time, I know that change can be intimidating. I hope this issue serves as a reminder that it can also lead to some of the greatest opportunities and experiences.
Reagan, Managing Editor:
As we delve into this year’s Orientation Edition of the Reporter, I hope that readers, new and returning, can find something helpful in this issue. It’s my first round as Managing Editor, and I’m proud of this staff for their creativity and new takes on Reporter traditions.
De’Vanese, News Editor:
Moving into this new academic year, we wanted to highlight the power of change. Whether that be in the form of new curricula and residential buildings, getting active, or looking at antiquated ideas from a new lens. As a first-time News Editor, I hope you enjoy this issue of The Reporter, centered around “Movement.” Hopefully, it inspires you to explore in your downtime or pushes you to switch gears when the pressure you’re feeling is avoidable.
Nico, Arts and Culture Editor:
As we here at The Reporter make the move into the new year, with new executive staff, I am proud to be the newest Arts and Culture Editor for the Reporter. This is my first time writing for The Reporter, and I couldn’t possibly be more excited about this opportunity. I have had lots of experience with different styles of writing, but to be introduced to this new style and to have the guidance of the other editors has been great.
Katie, Copy Editor:
I am so excited to begin working with the Reporter this school year! As editors, we are fortunate to explore the Stetson community through our art. I hope this edition encourages you to try something new and find your spot on campus this semester.
Michelle, Creative Director:
I am a rising senior, fulfilling my new role as Creative Director for the Reporter! Layout and print design have been my passion for years, and with this project I am able to help convey the wishes of our writers to you. I hope as my team and I bring you new designs, you will feel engaged as you read, and perhaps even inspired to join my team yourself!
