Turning the Next Page

May 4, 2018May 3, 2018 Nikki Fain and Nick Klotz 0

It’s time to turn the page on another year of The Penmen Press. In recent years, we’ve been part of immeasurable growth, this year has been no different, and in this time of transition the two of us are equal parts humbled and excited to lead this amazing group. The dynamic duo of Megan Palmer and Rebecca LeBoeuf are a hard act to follow.

Thank You and Farewell

As the year comes to a close, it is with a heavy, yet ready, heart that we prepare to say goodbye to The Penmen Press. After four years, we have learned more than we could have ever hoped, grown more than we could have ever imagined and hopefully made an impact that will last beyond our graduation. This year, we have given so much

April 11, 2018April 11, 2018 Megan Palmer and Rebecca LeBoeuf 0

Though the end of the semester is just weeks away, the pressure placed on college students is not winding down with the academic year. The time crunch only adds fuel to the already burning fire. While the end may be in sight, it is difficult to step back and breathe, and it can be just as difficult for families, faculty and staff to understand

Letter from the Editor: Importance of Assembly

March 26, 2018March 26, 2018 Rebecca LeBoeuf and Megan Palmer 0

As a newspaper, it is expected that the bulk of what we do, particularly in our editorial content, is talk about freedom of the press. But freedom of the press is most effective in conjunction with the other rights afforded by the First Amendment, and it is imperative that students in particular are aware of their rights and the powerful ways in which they

Happy Newspaper in Education Week!

From March 5 - 9, we will be celebrating the importance of journalism and our First Amendment right to educate society. Newspapers and other news media are often a constant in people’s lives.

2018, a year only two months old, has already seen a number of school shootings that parallels the level of gun violence seen in America. One of the most recent and horrific occurrences occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people (14 students and three faculty members) were killed and many more were injured.

Now that the semester is well underway, we would like to take this opportunity to remind the SNHU community that The Penmen Press offers many opportunities to have its voice heard, including through Letters to the Editor. With constantly changing technology (and a still relatively new and centrally located office), The Penmen Press is becoming consistently more accessible to not only the immediate SNHU

Letter from the Editors: Hello, SNHU – Hello, 2018

January 16, 2018February 26, 2018 Megan Palmer and Rebecca LeBoeuf 0

The new year is a time of new beginnings. The spring semester brings new classes, new challenges, as well as new opportunities; for those who like fresh starts, returning to school in January is just that. While still the same academic year, turning the corner into the spring term feels like a clean slate, both familiar and unknown, new yet still the same. The
