Letter from the Editor

Welcome to another year at AU!

Whether this is your first or fiftieth year at AU, we at The Eagle have put together a fabulous guide to help you get to know the ins and outs of campus and D.C. life.

But this isn’t any old D.C. guide. We don’t showcase monuments or Segways. Instead, we’re sharing the secrets that you really need to know to fully enjoy — or just survive — your time at AU.

The mission of The Eagle is to be AU’s student voice. That means we cover as much as we possibly can about AU student life — from campus news and events to sports and entertainment to showcasing student opinions.

To further our mission, this fall we hope to diversify our coverage, including the addition of a graduate student writer and to continue expanding our online content and social media presence with increased multimedia and Web-exclusive content.

Like any professional publication, The Eagle aims to report the news in an unbiased way. Only in the staff editorial does The Eagle staff take a stance on the news.

However, you and any member of the AU community can share you opinion on any issue or news story by submitting letters to the editor or op-eds. Check out today’s Opinion section for more information.

Whether you become a dedicated staff member, reader or topic of the news yourself, I hope you have a wonderful year.

Best wishes, Lindsey Anderson Editor-in-Chief
