The Plant Has a New Site!

Dear reader,

If this is not your first year at Dawson, you may have noticed The Plant being a little quieter than you are used to. Well, I can assure you that our writers and contributors have been far from quiet — we have continued to receive tons of wonderful articles and creations from all corners of Dawson. We have also continued to publish in print monthly. The real difference this semester has actually been our website; it has been mostly silent. During our process to change site platforms, we ran into quite a few complications that caused us to push back our site release dates again and again.

Nonetheless, it is my pleasure to announce that our new website is now live at: www.theplantnews.com! This is a great step towards making The Plant more accessible to all students, regardless of whether they got their hands on a physical copy or not. I’m so excited to see all the great things that we will be able to share with you all.

As always, I want to extend an invitation to each reader to submit your contributions to The Plant. Creating the content you want to see in the world is one of the most rewarding experiences. I believe that good journalism begins right here: in a poorly-lit H-wing hallway, in a loud cafeteria, in whispers in the back of a class. Look into your surrounding and find what truly matters to you, and you’d be surprised to see how the stories appear before your eyes.

Love,

Valeria Lau

Editor-in-Chief
