Welcome back, OCU students! I hope that all of you have had a wonderful start to your semester and school year. My name is Ava Karas, and I am the News Editor for Student Publications this year.
I think that it is safe to say that our campus community has proven to be resilient, unique, and accomplished. It is my goal as News Editor to incorporate all of the wonderful things that OCU students are doing into the paper as much as possible this year.
If your organization or club is making significant strides in improving campus and student life or excelling in its individual missions, do not hesitate to contact Student Publications. We will give your organization the coverage it deserves.
While I want to highlight all of the great things students are accomplishing on campus, I also want to cover things that our campus community could improve upon, to keep our students and staff safe and aware.
This includes COVID-19 coverage. Though university officials are optimistic about high vaccination rates and the level of infection has remained stable, COVID-19 is still very much a reality for the campus, and for the world around us.
I do not want the news section to be dominated by the coronavirus (because I am sure that we all feel as though we have heard enough about it already…), but I want to include a story here and there so that our community can stay cognizant, vigilant, and healthy.
Take care of yourselves this semester. I am excited and honored to be serving you all in your campus media! I look forward to seeing all the fantastic things that you do this year.
