Honoring Our Roots
In 2013 the yearbook went from L’Ami to The Student Collective. The
Student Collective was originally created as a supplemental project
meant to allow for the student body to reflect over the year as a whole
with the shared and unique experiences of students, faculty, and
community members. It was created as an outlet for the Fox family to
enjoy the beauty Newberg and Fox have to offer. The cover letter of the
first edition of The Student Collective reads that it hopes students will
“Be immersed in the simple, yet impacting culture of our campus, our
community, and the mystery of faith.” While The Student Collective was
never intended to replace the L’Ami yearbook, over time it naturally
evolved to become such. We wanted to take a moment to reflect on how
we have grown and the beautiful roots of The Student Collective: L’Ami.
“We never intended to replace the yearbook... solely to create an outlet
for artistically-minded students who are passionate about the university
and desire to show this affection through a holistic lens of simplicity and
creativity” (1st Edition of The Student Collective)
“As the college strides forward in the march of progress, ever after a
backward glance, she gathers more closely around her the garments
of earlier times, and clings to those blessings that survive from the
beginning. If this first yearbook can harbor eventful memories of the past
while serving as a guidepost for the future, its mission has been fulfilled.”
