Say Hello to the Spring 2014 Pioneer Editorial Board!

Say Hello to the Spring 2014 Pioneer Editorial Board!

Shelly Le January 25, 2014
Another semester gone and another looms ahead. I am halfway through my tenure as editor-in-chief and I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. This is our chance to reflect on the mistakes that we made last semester and improve on our decisions this semester. I hope to let a few things go that aren't as important to the needs of our staff, but I'm also hoping to push us in ways that may make us uncomfortable at times. We work hard, we play hard, and I can't wait to see what the next thirteen issues have in store for us. Here's to another great semester.

Presenting the Fall 2013 Pioneer Editors and Managers!

Shelly Le September 13, 2013
This afternoon was our first editors critique meeting and I can't honestly say how proud and honored I am to work with such dynamic, fun, dedicated, and good-looking (If I do say so myself!) individuals. Our majors span from BBMB to Economics, to German Studies and our non-Pio interests include soccer, watching Jeopardy!, and coffee making. We don't get a whole lot of sleep, we eat way too much pizza on production night and some of us (err, I mean Sean) have terrible taste in music. Anyway, I'm rambling. Our first print issue hit stands this week, but this is our formal hello. Hello!
