To commemorate the launch of volume VII, issue I of the University Journal, SUU News will host a party on Monday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. All students are invited to attend in costume, meet the team behind Southern Utah University’s most prestigious news organization and enjoy the free candy being handed out by SUU News’ staff.
The party, which, according to multiple SUU News employees, will be “most excellent,” will take place in the brand-new newsroom, located in Room 209 of the America First Event Center.
For students wanting to read the new edition earlier, the magazine will have a limited initial release on Friday, Oct. 27, at Battle of the Bands: Thunderground prior to its full release the following Monday. This edition of the journal explores the hidden gems throughout campus, of which students might not otherwise be aware.
“I’m particularly excited about this issue because it is a theme that I am very passionate about,” said Kale Nelson, SUU News editor-in-chief. “This gives us an opportunity to highlight and feature people on campus who normally wouldn’t be talked about and who might be overlooked and underappreciated.”
Students can also acquire a free copy of the new edition after Monday’s party by visiting any of the UJ stands around campus.
