LETTER from the EDITOR

Hey Jaspers, welcome to issue 3!

Lauren Raziano Multimedia Editor

Grace Cardinal Asst. News Editor

Mack Olmsted Asst. Arts & Entertainment Editor

This week we’ve got some interesting articles across all sections about Jaspers from the past and present honing their craft. From STEM fields to education as well as communication and English, I’m proud that The Quad can serve to highlight the academic success and individual creativity of our students and alumni across all disciplines.

That being said, this week The Quad also covers some very important topics I would like to address.

In our News section, Anna Woods wrote about an unfortunate incident where a poster promoting the Rainbow Jaspers, an organization supporting the LGBTQ+ community on campus, was defaced with use of inappropriate homophobic and religious language.

About The Quadrangle

A tradition since 1924, The Quadrangle is a news organization run by the students of Manhattan College. We strive to cover news around campus and the greater community, publishing weekly in print and daily online. Our goal is always accuracy, relevancy and professionalism.

The opinions expressed in The Quadrangle are those of the individual writer and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Editorial Board, the College or the student body.

The Quadrangle’s meetings on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. in Kelly Commons Room 412. All are welcome to come and join the club.

Hate of any kind has no place in the Jasper community. As journalists, it is our duty to shed light on important issues and promote justice, peace and fairness throughout the community. The Quadrangle stands with the Rainbow Jaspers in solidarity and we will continue to monitor this investigation.

In addition, February marks the start of black history month. Zoe Defazio wrote an article about the first of several events occurring to celebrate. I would like to encourage you to take some time to educate yourself on black history or stop by the Multicultural Center this month for information on upcoming events.

Below you’ll find the official statement from the BSU regarding the recent death of Tyre Nicols due to yet another indicent involving police brutality. Though I will never understand, I stand with you.

Please remember that the counseling center on campus provides free resources for students who may be struggling with their mental health. Reach out to counselingcenter@manhattan.edu or visit their website to make an appointment.

If The Quadrangle can be of any service to you or your campus organization, please feel free to reach out through our website or contact us at thequad@manhattan.edu.

Sincerely,
