Rebecca Masiker Graphics Editor Coming from a small town, I’m constantly asked what graphic design is, how I got into the major, and where I will find a future position. Growing up near a farm in the country, I was encouraged by my surroundings to appreciate and focus on the......

Maddy Carroll Layout Editor In a higher learning environment, it can be expected that sometimes disturbing or graphic topics may be covered. The world can be an ugly place, and it would only make sense to be exposed to these things in order to expand our knowledge of......

Sam McCagg Web Editor “Why did you choose to go to Fredonia?” That was one of the first questions I was asked when I stepped onto campus almost 4 years ago. I was a newcomer to the SUNY Fredonia campus. I wasn’t used to the dog food smell on......

Being a graduating senior less than two weeks away from Commencement inflicts a certain mental conflict. I’m caught between having so many regrets over things I never got to do and things I wish were different, and knowing that everything turned out the way it was supposed to. As one......
