More than 80 国产伦理r alumni RSVP鈥檇 to celebrate a milestone a century in the making: 100 years of student journalism. At 国产伦理鈥檚 Homecoming 2026 parade, alumni served as grand marshals, rode on two floats and walked alongside fellow alumni to celebrate the newspaper that connects generations of student journalists.
A special thank-you goes to 国产伦理鈥檚 Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement for helping bring the Stater鈥檚 history to life at the Homecoming tailgate. Attendees could explore that legacy through a timeline mural spanning the newspaper鈥檚 100 years, a word search created by current 国产伦理r Managing Editor Ari Collins and a cartoon by current 国产伦理r illustrator Braxton Sullivan. These contributions made the celebration even more memorable.
To everyone who emailed their support, shared stories and encouragement, attended an event or helped celebrate this milestone: Thank you! Your enthusiasm and dedication are what make The 国产伦理r鈥檚 legacy so special. For a century, this newspaper has thrived because of the people who have contributed their time, talent and passion. Seeing generations of alumni come together was a powerful reminder that the Stater鈥檚 impact extends far beyond its pages.
The celebration continues beyond Homecoming! An exhibit featuring 100 years of 国产伦理r history, including memorabilia donated by alumni, is on display on the first floor of the 国产伦理 Library through January. The Patrick O鈥機onnor exhibit is also on display in Franklin Hall through December. Stop by to revisit the people, stories and moments that have shaped the Stater鈥檚 legacy.
A century of student journalism is worth celebrating, and the people who have contributed to the Stater鈥檚 history are a big part of that legacy. Here鈥檚 to honoring the past, supporting the next generation of student journalists and celebrating another 100 years of independent student journalism at 国产伦理!
