Hello, Lions. My name is Megan Simon, and I’m the new Editor in Chief of The Lion’s Roar. When I’m not on the soccer field kicking balls with the Lady Lions Soccer team, you will mostly find me at The Lion’s Roar, striving to get the paper out to you every Tuesday. 

We have a lot of cool issues planned for the year to come and hope we can continue the tradition of being one of the best ways students can get information about what is happening on campus and in Hammond. Be on the look out for events you can go to, whether it be campus life, art and entertainment or sports events. There is something for everybody to look forward to.

The Office of Student Publications consists of both the newspaper and yearbook staff. While the newspaper is produced once a week during regular semesters and once a month over the summer, the yearbook, Le Souvenir, comes out around Homecoming Week each October.

As for this magazine, the staff, including myself, aimed to bring interesting features to the table. We wanted to write stories that apply to not just freshmen, but upperclassmen too. These pages contain information about parking, workout advice and even a feature about the school’s nursing program.

Every week we aim to fill The Lion’s Roar with interesting content students will want to read about. We are here to be the eyes and ears of campus, but most importantly serve to spread the word about important subjects on campus and get students involved.  

Students who want a physical copy of the newspaper, can find them in bins across campus and Hammond. All articles featured in the physical copy can be found on our website, www.lionsroarnews.com. For photo albums and links to popular stories, like The Lion’s Roar on Facebook and follow us @lionsroarnews on Twitter and Instagram.

University organizations can also print announcements in the paper by submitting them through the tab on The Lion’s Roar Facebook page or by emailing [email protected]. Remember to submit these announcements by 10 a.m. the Friday before the paper comes out.

I hope freshmen, returning students, and faculty and staff, have a great beginning to their semester, enjoying the full Southeastern experience. Lion up!
