Despite a lull over the course of spring semester, The Patriot does have a new issue ready for students as they avoid studying for finals! The issue can be found in .pdf form by clicking on the “Latest Issue” link above. Articles will be posted in commentable form later today, and the printed issues will be delivered around campus tomorrow (Thursday). Enjoy!

Check around campus for the latest issue of the Patriot, or download the .pdf on our archives page! Articles from the issue will be posted later today, so please drop by and let us know what you think.

If so, now is the best time! We will be having our first meeting of the semester tomorrow, Tuesday 9/7/2010 in STEPS Room 290 at 4:10pm. We have plenty of roles available within the club, whether your interest is writing, editing, graphic design, web design, or even just getting the feel for opinion on campus. If you are interested in any or all of those areas, please join us! If you cannot attend the meeting, just send us an e-mail at: editor@lehighpatriot.com, and we’ll be in touch!

Just the facts:

The Patriot editorial staff would like to welcome all new students to Lehigh, as well as welcome back all returning students! As a special service all Lehigh students, but especially Lehigh freshmen, we have compiled our first-ever “Freshmen Issue” of the Lehigh Patriot!

A Sneak Preview! What's inside? Find out later this week!

It’s filled with all the stuff you won’t hear during orientation: the best beverages floating around Lehigh, the real information on dining on campus and in the surrounding area, some advice for surviving your first year at Lehigh, and much more!

While we had hoped to have it ready for the Lehigh community at the club fair today, we were a little delayed through the publishing process. Nevertheless, we’ll be getting it to you later this week, so keep an eye out for it in the common rooms and dining halls! Additionally, all articles will be available here for comment, as well as a .pdf of the issue, so check back here once you’ve read it, and let us know what you think!

If you are interested in joining the Patriot, and didn’t find us at the club fair, just shoot an e-mail to: editor@lehighpatriot.com and we’ll keep you in the loop. We’ll also be posting info about our first meeting of the year here on the website, so feel free to show up!

Again, welcome to Lehigh, and enjoy your first day of class!

LehighPatriot.com will be undergoing website maintenance from Monday, July 26th until Tuesday, August 10th. During that time, this site may not be available, and will be undergoing considerable changes. In the mean time, all pages will be made available in a stable version of the site at http://www.lehighpatriot.com/backup/. However, no new content will be posted, and no comments will be saved on that site. The Patriot will be up and running for the 2010-2011 academic year, so check back in a few weeks for brand new content!

Dear Readers,

The December issue of the Lehigh Patriot is available at various locations around campus, just in time for finals. Articles will be posted online this weekend, but until then feel free to discuss the issue here. Thank you for reading, and good luck on your finals!
