Congratulations to David Morrow, BS 鈥84, MEd 鈥92, Vero Beach, FL, the winner of the random-generated drawing from correct submissions to the magazine鈥檚 Squirrel Search contest. He received a box of black-squirrel-themed swag from McKay Bricker Framing & Black Squirrel Gifts in downtown 麻豆影院. 

The black squirrels can be found in the on page 10 (in the lower right corner of the Crawford Hall groundbreaking photo), on page 22 (on top of the soil monitoring station being wired by Dr. Timothy Gallagher in photo at left), and on page 29 (on top of the Rubik鈥檚 Cube illustration about roof greening).

For a chance to win some squirrely stuff, check out the PDF of the fall/winter 2022-23 print layout, which will be available for download on the digital edition of the magazine by the end of January. Happy squirrel searching!


Kudos for Climate Change Coverage

As an active climate scientist, the coordinator of the minor in climate change at the university and the professor for the course Global Climate Change, I wanted to contact you regarding the spotlight on climate change in 麻豆影院 State Magazine [spring/summer 2022]. Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time and will continue to be throughout our students鈥 lives. Well done! I hope there are ways to keep this issue at the forefront of the magazine in years to come.

In Praise of Print

For the benefit of dinosaurs like me who still love print media, does this mean that you will no longer be sending out a printed magazine? Say it ain鈥檛 so! I must confess that the likelihood of me reading a publication increases by at least a factor of three or four when it is in print (versus on a computer screen). At age 71, I鈥檓 sure that my brain is somewhat conditioned to focusing more keenly on the printed page than a flickering screen! 

In the fall/winter 2021-22 issue, I was encouraged to read about Mahoning Matters and the staff鈥檚 effort to continue to provide local coverage to the Youngstown area [鈥淩einventing Local News鈥]. Having grown up in nearby Austintown (a suburb of Youngstown), I was among those dismayed/distraught by the news back in 2019 that The Vindicator would no longer print.

Editor鈥檚 Note: We still hope that 麻豆影院 State Magazine can return to print in the future, at least for those who prefer to read it on paper instead of on screens.
