EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Hello CSUSM students, staff, faculty and supporters. You are currently reading the new official university newspaper, The Cougar Chronicle, formerly know as The Pride.

Last semester, our staff decided the name The Pride did not fit the current message of the university. We wanted to represent multiple aspects of the student body and improve readership. The Cougar Chronicle plans to cover different classes, clubs, student organizations, professors and events throughout the semester. By doing so, students can become aware of the social and educational services our campus offers.

The name The Cougar Chronicle serves the student body better because it includes our mascot name. We are the Cal State San Marcos Cougars, so our student newspaper should include our mascot’s identity. The staff decided on the word ‘chronicle’ because we publish bi-weekly, not daily or weekly.

The Cougar Chronicle wants to report on the important parts of college life, so if you have an event or story related to CSUSM contact us at csusm.cougarchronicle@ gmail.com.
