iSSUE 1:

Welcome to the new Students’ Union magazine, Baked Goods. In this magazine we celebrate the abundant creative talent here at Griffith College, keep you informed about the happenings here in the SU, and get the low-down on what’s going on within the various sports & societies.

In this first issue, we want to give you a taste of what the students at Griffith College are capable of. We have articles that cover diverse topics such as queerbating in the media, holidaying in Vietnam, the Irish General Election, coping with mental health issues, the on-going subject of climate change, the power of optimism, the taboo topic of menstruation, dealing with student life, and so much more. We also feature the brilliant work of students from our photography department in our Exploding Talent feature, including the photographs on the cover by Sebastian Farron-Mahon, who was last year’s winner of the SMEDIA award for photographer of the year. Enjoy the read —and the look— and keep an eye out for the future work of the writers and photographers featured in this issue.
