Like to write? Write for us!

By Danielle Larson, Karina Rajtar and Jessica Paulsen
Cardinal Editors

The Cardinal serves many purposes on campus. It is a news outlet to many students, teachers, parents and staff. It is also a source of entertainment.

Another purpose it serves, that some people may not think of, is first-hand writing and publishing experience for students. Students studying communications on campus tend to write for the Cardinal to build up their portfolios, or even to just get a feel for reporting. We at the Cardinal feel that not just communications majors should write for it, but everyone on campus should.

Here are four reasons why:
1. It strengthens communication and writing experience that many employers look for.
2. You learn more about the campus events and issues going on around you.
3. You meet people you may have never noticed before on campus, and it builds up your network of friends and faculty.
4. Last, but not least, it’s fun!

If writing, photography, news or entertainment is of interest to you, you should consider participating in the Cardinal.
