Farewell: A Letter From the Editors
Well Whittier College, another year has flown by. Tests, essays, presentations, and more have consumed everyone, and while that will not stop with the impending doom of finals coming up, we are glad that through every hardship or joy that you experienced, the Quaker Campus was by your side.
We here at the QC want to thank you for your continuous support. Student journalism is no easy feat (just ask our team!), but your love and gratitude for our newspaper is valued greatly. Once again, thank you.
The Quaker Campus has elevated itself to a standard that has been unprecedented in years past — and it is just going to continue to get better. This year, we completely revitalized the newspaper, adding a bounty of information to make sure that the Whittier College community is educated and engaged. This includes sections like our “Ask a Poet, A Poet Answers” advice column; recommendations from our staff; schedules for campus events and sports games, along with coverage on all the events, news, and more that the College community demands. We also added an activities section called the “Poet Playhouse,” an official Quaker Campus website that we are still working on, along with a totally revamped Instagram page. The latter actually earned us the “Social Media Engagement” award at the 2024 Student Life Awards.
Many of our staff were also recipients of awards, including Senior Key Awards, Emerging Leader Awards, Officer of the Year, and the Miss Margot Latif Memorial Award. We want to say thank you to the Whittier College community for acknowledging the hard work and dedication our team provides for you. Your worries, frustrations, happiness, and more are in good hands at the Quaker Campus.
We would also like to thank our Faculty Advisor Joe Donnelly, for his continuous help and support — no matter how weird.
While the year is coming to an end, the Quaker Campus will still be working this summer to make sure that you are getting the best newspaper you deserve. You will be meeting our newest Executive Board members in the coming months, but for right now, the current Editors would like to say, once again, thank you. A million times, thank you.
This is the 2023–24 Quaker Campus Editorial Team, signing off.
