Happy Thanksgiving to our Stevenson community!
The Villager editorial staff would like to take a moment to express our thankfulness for our community’s readership and support of the campus newspaper. It goes without saying that it certainly does take a “village” to put a newspaper together, and we appreciate your willingness to work with us on the various stories that come together over the semester.
As well, it’s a good time to meet the editorial staff of The Villager. The group has worked diligently this semester in a remote setting to put the paper together during these unique circumstances. As the faculty advisor to the newspaper, it’s been a pleasure to work with such an energetic group of students this semester.
Wishing our readers a wonderful Thanksgiving season!
Stephanie Verni, professor and faculty advisor to The Villager

Journalism is something that I’ve always enjoyed throughout my years here at Stevenson. I love the interview process and getting to meet members of the Stevenson community. Every person is unique and has a different style, and I enjoy learning about them and what goes on around the university! This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for my family, teammates, and first responders who continue to help me every day and help others as well.
