New and returning Clark Students, The Scarlet is back for this academic year, and we couldn’t be more excited. It is a privilege to serve the community once again!

The Scarlet is led by myself and Cyd Abnet, as Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor respectively. With a rag-tag team of editors and executive board members supporting us behind the scenes, and a phenomenal group of Scarlet Staff members creating content for The Scarlet, we hope to not only inform you, but to inspire you to ask questions and start conversations with your peers.

The Scarlet has two primary purposes: to publish a variety of media covering issues, ideas, and events that matter to the Clark and Worcester Community, and to showcase the student voice through different forms of expression. We encourage you to submit whatever matters to you, in whatever form that may take. This can be photography, comics, interviews, creative work, reviews or just plain opinions about the happenings around Clark! 

Journalism starts with a question. Have you recently attended an event at Clark that you really enjoyed? What works well on campus? What doesn’t? What do you wish you knew more about? What do you think other students should know about the community? What surprised you about Clark or Worcester?

If you find yourself asking these questions (or others), then come to The Scarlet’s General Interest Meeting on September 11, at 7:15 p.m. Bring your ideas and bring yourself, and be ready to become student journalists. Good luck with your semester, Clarkies!
