Dear readers,
Once again, CSU’s summer semester has come and gone, and the fall semester has begun. The Uproar stayed busy this summer, writing about some of the season’s most relevant events for CSU students. We didn’t make it to the print shop in time for the summer, but online publishing is a flexible medium!
Columbus as a whole was in an uproar this June over the GOP National Convention, which was held near CSU’s RiverPark Campus. Former President Donald Trump made an important public appearance at the event, sparking public interest and outcry. Uproar Reporter Kennedy Buckner covered the event for the Uproar.
Meanwhile, CSU campus was busy preparing for the 2023-2024 academic year. The migration of student, faculty, and staff cloud services from Google to Microsoft systems began over the summer. Those on campus for summer classes spent the semester adjusting to the new platform, and fall semester students are now doing the same. We’ve covered both the basics of the migration and how students can make sure their email addresses represent their names correctly.
CSU was busy in the cloud this summer, and it wasn’t slacking in the physical world either. The Communications Department moved from the Carpenter’s Building to One Arsenal Place over the semester, and we covered it here. The move will give the Communications Department new ways to connect with CSU students and staff.
In other news, I’m thrilled to introduce myself as The Uproar’s new Editor-in-chief. My name is Nick Miller, and I’m working on a dual degree in computer science and art history. Art history essays gave me plenty of writing practice, so I joined The Uproar in 2022 as the Senior Copy Editor. This spring, I was honored when our previous Editor-in-chief, Destinee Williams, asked me to take over after her graduation. So far, the job has been an exceptional learning opportunity and I feel privileged to work with The Uproar’s talented staff.
The Uproar is a very special aspect of CSU and I hope to further its legacy of quality. As I learn more and more about student news publishing, I’m drawn to both its embrace of students’ creativity and its staunch connection to freedom of speech and the press. This is the place to provide a platform for students’ work, to uncover the stories that would be buried by an institution, and to amplify student voices. I’m very excited to help make The Uproar serve these purposes as effectively as it can.
Thank you for reading,
Nick Miller
