Special Issues First-Year Issue

The first-year issue is geared for our incoming freshmen class and showcases many fun and interesting activities in the Elizabethtown area. Very popular issue for advertisers to introduce themselves to our new students through advertisements and coupons.
Homecoming
October 13
Etown’s Homecoming Weekend coincides with Parents Weekend and brings many different readers onto campus. This issue will focus on the hundreds of alumni coming back on campus and is a great spot for advertisers to show their support for past Blue Jays.
Welcome Back
January 26
Our Welcome Back issue will focus on the start of the spring semester, and is a great opportunity to reach out to new transfer students or students who were abroad in the fall. Many businesses preview their events/specials during the spring semester months.
TGIS

TGIS (Thank God It’s Spring) is an annual event at Elizabethtown that brings together the College and community for one final fun weekend before finals. This would be a great issue to offer ads geared toward fun or graduating seniors/job opportunities.
