On Wednesday, we embarked on a five-day trip to Chicago.
The majority of it will be spent honing our craft, networking with other college newspapers across the country and absorbing every possible drop of knowledge we can.
Historically, we’ve always brought home a new idea to implement into the paper or website.

We’ll represent YSU well, as you have represented us in a myriad of academic- and athletic-related fields.
YSU is often overlooked.
As a smaller school in a rusty city, respect must be earned. We lack the benefit of is being awarded simply because of the school’s name.
That doesn’t faze us.
As countless other Penguins have before, we’ll give this our all. We hope we make you proud, as proud as we are of you.
