Dear Readers,

Welcome back for our September 30th refresh!

I hope you all are as excited about the fall weather as I am. I can finally bust out my sweatshirts and flannels without worrying about the oppressive summer heat.

Now that we are a month into the semester, The Comenian has started to hit its stride for the year. Our writers and editors have been doing a great job. The dedication and effort of our staff to get a new refresh out has simply been astonishing. They are all great writers with unique voices, and I’m thankful to have the team we do.

Now for this week’s content:

We have a rundown of Moravian’s 6th annual Heritage Day along with an accompanying slideshow of Moravian volunteers at the Monocacy Farm Project.

Before I sign off: if you’re interested in joining The Comenian please join us at our meetings, which take place every Wednesday at 5 pm in Zinzendorf Hall, room 100. 

We are looking for new writers, photographers, videographers, graphic designers, and more, so if any of those interests you be sure to stop by or email us at [email protected]. 

The Comenian supports a wide range of content, so if you want to interview students around campus, you can. If you want to make video essays you can. If you want to make short comics, you can. Whether you want to write about news, politics, music, movies, sports, video games, food, history, or anything else, I guarantee you will have a place here.

Thank you for reading this week’s refresh. Enjoy your well-earned fall break and I hope you come back soon as we continue to publish new content every other week. 

Your editor-in-chief,

AJ
