The Eagle welcomes you with open wings

Welcome to CSC! We’re sure you’ve heard it a thousand times by now but we’re happy to have you here. The first few weeks of college can be pretty overwhelming. Every club, organization, and department are giving you tons of information as to why you should join them. So, instead of randomly thrusting a flier in your face in the Student Center, we decided to give you all the information you need right here.  

The Eagle is CSC’s 100-year-old, student-run, award-winning newspaper. Each week- with the exception of midterms and finals- we publish a new edition packed full of campus information. You want the details of this week’s Student Senate meeting? We’ve got it! Stats from last week’s football game? We’ve got that too! Everything you need to know about what’s going on around campus are on our pages.  They are available everywhere on campus and around town so you’ll never have to look too hard for one and they are completely free.

We don’t just do print news, last year, we introduced a new addition to our production. “The News Quarter” is a bite-sized, 15 minute podcast where host Adeline Beason interviews guests about a range of topics related to CSC, the Panhandle, and beyond. Interviews are open to all students, faculty and community members so feel free to reach out if there is something you want to talk about! You can listen to “The News Quarter” on Spotify or our website, csceagle.com.

But The Eagle isn’t just something you can read or listen to, it’s something you can help create! There are plenty of positions available for students interested in joining. You can be a reporter, columnist, photographer, graphic designer, and a copyeditor. Even if you’re not a member of the Communications department, we encourage you to join! Our staff comes from a variety of different degree programs and we are always looking for new people to get involved. 

If you’re interested in joining the team, stop by Room 235 in Old Admin on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. for our weekly staff meeting. If you can’t make the meeting but still are interested in joining our staff, feel free to stop by the newsroom at any time, there’s likely going to be an editor there you can talk to. We look forward to meeting you and having you join The Eagle!
