Preserving a legacy and leaving our own

By Loquitur Editorial Board

This year, we understand the monumental challenge we face as the Loquitur’s editorial staff. Right now, we have far more questions than answers. We are tasked with upholding a 65-year legacy of awardwinning pieces, outstanding journalists, and countless hours spent working tirelessly on behalf of the Cabrini community.

Our mission for this year is to uncover as many answers as possible, preserve the legacy of the Loquitur, and serve the needs of our community to the very best of our ability.

Our goals for the news section are to uplift the voices of students, staff, parents, and alumni. We want to amplify voices that are silent. We want to focus on the present. We want to capture the real, raw emotions. We will show the many complex feelings on campus in this last year of Cabrini. We will show the good, the bad, and the ugly. We want to show the nuance of Cabrini. Each story in the news section will be balanced and written with care and respect.

For our Talk 59 podcast, our goal is to use it as a way to showcase the behind-the-scenes work that will go into Cabrini’s final year. Not only will you get inside access to the newsroom and our staff writers’ newest articles, but we also want to highlight aspects of student life that are less talked about and deserve a platform. We want the community to hear the story of how we are sending Cabrini out with a bang.

For our sports section, we want to highlight athletes and Cabrini athletics’ accomplishments throughout this unprecedented time. We are committed to commemorating the 56 year legacy of Cabrini athletics as well as answering all of the lingering questions the athletic community may have. But our main hope is to provide athletes, alumni, and our steadfast sports fans with stories that will capture the magic and brotherhood this community has given us, as well as memories we can carry with us long after Cabrini is gone.

Our visuals section will focus on capturing the feeling on campus. Students and faculty are all feeling the effects of the closing, and it’s important to show how the community is impacted. However, we also want to showcase the different activities and events happening here, and show how they make students feel. We can use this opportunity to give alumni a platform to tell their stories and share why they love Cabrini.

This year in lifestyles, we want to show that even though things are far from normal, we want to make it fun. We hope we can highlight students still living on campus. Student enrollment and housing may be low, but it is still a key part of campus life. We also want to focus on using this year to its full potential.

We find ourselves sometimes thinking of how lonely this year can be, but in the end there are things that certain clubs are trying to do. We hope the Loquitur’s lifestyles section offers a little bit of light in the darkness. As the Loquitur’s last editors, we understand the history we must uphold. and honor, and we are more than ready to leave our own legacy.
