Happy Thanksgiving to our Stevenson community!

Thanksgiving wishes from the editor staff! (Photo from Stephanie Verni)

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!
