“The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.”

Proverbs 18:15

If you are here at San Diego State University, you are chasing after something. Whether it’s a degree, a community, a college experience or your purpose in this world. Whatever it is, you have taken the first step in a journey that was placed on your heart. I encourage you to keep seeking knowledge.

As an organization, The Daily Aztec is working to understand how to beat cover our SDSU community while providing a space for creators who love to tell stories. El año del cambio (the year of change) was the theme for 2022-2023 school year. We shifted from weekly print to monthly allowing time to focus on digital presence, meeting our audience where they are (on social media), creating Basement Beats to highlight our music community and producing our first mini-documentary in hopes of more video storytelling.

We have published eight print issues and 23 live broadcasts, produced online content with a range of news stories affecting the SDSU campus, highlighted Aztec sports who made history this year, pieced together thought-provoking opinions, depicted the lively art and culture scene on campus, and captured moments throughout the two semesters with photos. This team worked hard to cover the SDSU community while keeping up with their classes. I couldn’t have asked for a better staff. In addition, we have began to plan a collaborative project with other media groups on campus to foster a more significant opportunity to create.

I am excited to see where the next leadership will take the organization, and I have complete faith that it will keep seeking the best way to serve our communities.

The Daily Aztec consists of passionate students who want to share the stories of the different individuals on campus. So if that is you, this can be your home.

Thank you to our readers for the continuous support.
