It’s spring in California. Golden poppies and the sweet scent of Cal Poly strawberries are afloat across campus. Our campus is bright and alive. But, boy, are we excited for the summer breeze and graduation. April is a month of hellos for some, and the start of long goodbyes for others.
Our media organization just decided new leadership for next year, meaning we are actively training next year’s Archana-and-Jeremy duo. Long nights, endless Slack messages, and some side-eyes across the newsroom are coming their way. This time of year is filled with optimism for what’s to come, and we hope to capture every moment for you all.
This issue is special because we are saying hello to possible new Mustangs who may be coming to campus for the first time. By the time the flowers dry, things will surely look different around here, but for now, here’s what to look forward to in our last quarter of being leaders.
In these pages, you’ll find stories capturing Cal Poly in a snapshot of this promising time. ASI elections are around the corner, and the rodeo team is making generational waves. Students are developing advancements in fire protection and the medical world. And players from around the world fill our sports teams. During times of uncertainty, we brought you news that matters. We’re continually dedicated to bringing you ethical and accurate coverage that will make your voices heard. When we make mistakes, we promise to tell you what happened and why.
Hello to the future Mustangs reading this issue. Farewell to others who are on their way out. We hope we’ve served you well and continue to serve you best we can while learning to be the best.
Sincerely,
Archana Pisupati, Editor-in-Chief
Jeremy Garza, Managing Editor
