For me, the start of the fall semester is the most exciting time of the year.
Like every semester, it’s a new beginning. Opportunities are available by the handful, and for the most part, what you’ve done before doesn’t really carry over. It’s a time to try new things, meet new people, set new goals and accomplish them.
That’s especially true this year. I’m honored to serve the Carolina community as the editor-in-chief of our storied publication this fall.
Our commitment to being your source for campus news hasn’t changed, and it never will. But I’m excited to say that the way we bring it to you is evolving.
We know how people, especially students, consume news these days, and it usually isn’t by picking it up from newsstands. We’re making a commitment to meeting you where you are — online.
Along with our fellow Student Media organizations, we plan to bring you plenty of multimedia content, from podcasts to videos and everything in between, all of which will be available on our website and social media feeds.
But as far as the content we bring you? Our goal is to bring you what you want to read, from a student’s perspective.
Not only that, but we want to hear from you. Because our primary purpose is to serve the students and the USC community, we would love to know what you want to see from us. You’re always welcome to message us on social media, call us, shoot us an email or even come up to my office. I want everyone to know that we are receptive to your feedback — good or bad — and that we’re always looking to do more for you.
Whether you’re enjoying the fresh start of a new semester or spending your first fall at USC, I hope you’ll follow along with the new beginnings here at The Daily Gamecock. We’ve got plenty in store for you.
