About Us
A
nationally recognized and award-winning college newspaper, The Signal focuses on providing quality, timely and accurate reporting on the city of Atlanta and the Georgia State community, which boasts the second largest number of in-state alumni, thousands of faculty and administrators and a student body of more than *32,000 graduate and undergraduate students. And it’s still growing! Over the past five years, Georgia State has set record enrollment figures with each class more academically rigorous and diverse than the one before it, placing Georgia State in line to become the largest public university in the state, which translates into continued expansion and economic impact for the Atlanta community. The Signal will publish 10,000 copies of a 60-page spread of the summer magazine issue this year. This magazine is geared towards Georgia State’s newcomers, providing them a guide to some of Atlanta’s greatest neighborhood hangout spots, transportation systems and housing complexes. Incoming freshmen will receive a copy in their orientation bags at Georgia State’s INCEPT program. The expected amount of enrollment for freshmen this year is anywhere from 3,000 - 4,000.
