A note from your Editor-in-Chief

Hello! I’m Lucy Holland, your Vice President of Art and Design, Media and Performing Arts, and also your Editor in Chief of POW! Media! I am so excited to introduce you all to the first ever edition of The Middlesex Echo!

When I was a student, I studied Creative Writing and Journalism, and while POW! magazine was a great outlet for articles, I believe the introduction of this newspaper will encourage aspiring journalists and students on campus to submit articles about what they think matters to MDX students. Whether that be changes on campus, politics, panel discussions or covering events on campus.

As your re-elected Vice President, I will be continuing my work on the ‘We Need To Talk’ mental health campaign, as well as my work on housing to fight against rogue landlords and the rising costs of rent for students. If anyone would like to get involved in any of the campaigns I’m working on or have any queries, don’t hesitate to contact me via l.holland@mdx.ac.uk.

I hope you will all enjoy the different outlook of covering news and current affairs on and around campus that The Middlesex Echo will bring.

You can all get your voices heard and submit any articles via www.mdxsu.com.
