This was a VERY difficult decision to make, however, it was one we had to make. I will never forget the feeling of seeing the print newspapers in the stands around campus. But, "As we bid farewell to the past, we can look forward with bated breath to the future."
Now, in 2021, we must change in order to serve our campus community for another 60 years to come. Due to challenges brought on by the pandemic and the shifting business of journalism, The Statesman will stop producing its weekly newspaper version
