Big things are happening this year, and if you haven’t heard about it, you will.

We will continue to report on PSU, local, national and international news and events. We will continue to uncover noteworthy developments and news relevant to students.

We take responsibility for our coverage and welcome feedback. The Vanguard is your tool, and it’s our job to serve you, the readers.

We will do this not only in print, but also through an increased online presence: Facebook, Twitter and other social media. Our website, psuvanguard.com, has undergone significant changes and will provide up-to-date information and breaking news.

You, the readers, and we, the Vanguard staff, are agents of change, and our contributions to our education will affect everyone who follows us.

By students, for students. It’s our mission.
