WELCOME THE PINNACLE EST. <strong>2024</strong> Carpe Diem! Letter from the Manager As we move forward with this first publication in almost four years for the student newspaper, I look back on the experiences that have happened to make this a reality and cannot believe how far we have come on this road to relaunching. The student newspaper began on The Fort Steilacoom campus seven years after the college was founded in 1967. The college was only 7 years running, when it decided they needed a newspaper-The Pioneer. In 1994 the Post newspaper was launch at the Puyallup Campus. The founding members of the college realized how critical it was for students voices to be heard on campus. Student voice runs deep in the threads of student life on both campuses. As soon as I was hired, I had no idea the huge task that was set before me. I knew I would be in charge of relaunching the student newspaper, but what I didn’t know was how different the path would be for the new paper. That instead of two papers, we were going to launch a district paper. To add to this, we had new structures for student jobs, newspaper content and the fact that the paper was going into a new direction-an online interactive platform. During COVID many college newspapers survived by no longer publishing printed papers, but by going 100% digital. The student newspaper at Pierce College had many new challenges that it faced, as we tried to rise from the ashes from the previous structure. I faced an unknown new student team, that if this team didn’t work well with each other, the relaunch could be short lived. A new joy to this job was how amazing, artistic and wonderful the new team turned out to be, which without this, the paper would not have made it to the relaunch. On top of all of this, the student newspaper moved to a different team structure on campus as well, The Office of Student Life, now we work as a team with two new directors-Joey Adams at Fort Steilacoom and Aki Smith at Puyallup, whose support was critical to our success. The wealth of knowledge and support the student paper has received from the OSL was vital in the papers come back. I would also like to thank all of the faculty, staff and students that have helped us work on and create this inaugural publication. -by Laura Taylor STAFF Puyallup-POST Editor-In-Chief Treva Adkins Graphic Designer Grace Corrales Student Media Coordinator Kyla Reese Writer/Photographer Jackson Park Fort Steilacoom-Pioneer Editor-In-Chief Dennis Freire Graphic Designer Le Pham Writer/Photographer Ruby Garcia Writer/Photographer Sean Pule Letters to The Editor- Have an opinion on our publication events, or policy? email- TAdkins@pierce.ctc.edu DFreire@pierce.ctc.edu Cover Art- Hand drawn by our amazing on staff artist Grace Corrales Thank you to everyone that contributed to making this publication a success!
