Members of the Sacramento State community reflect on past Hornet coverage, offer continual support.
Issue date: 5/13/09 Section: Hornet 60th
"Different generations have different memories of Sacramento State. Grads from the 1960s remember the front quad, the old library, a student and faculty population boom, greater diversity, student activism, pride, great sports teams and even yearbooks. But the constant for every era is The State Hornet - 60 years old - a contemporary voice and an archive of generational "takes" on what our university was, is and can be.
Our campus's seventh decade will clearly be about change and providing a quality education and a fuller college experience to a new generation. We enter it with rekindled Sac State pride, stronger community connections and alumni rediscovering their alma mater. The Hornet will be there, stimulating and chronicling the changes. Thanks for the memories, Hornet, past, present and still to come."
- Joseph Sheley, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs
"I would like to take this opportunity, as president of the California Faculty Association Capital Chapter, to congratulate the Hornet on its 60th year of publication. College newspapers remain a necessity for the free speech inherent in college life. The Hornet provides a forum for local reporting and for bringing state, national, and world issues to the attention of students, those people destined to tackle and solve future challenges. It also provides an excellent hands-on experience for future journalists.
In the future, I hope to see a continuation of reporting on campus and local issues, combined with more investigative journalism that provides in depth coverage of policies that impact the California State University system, including funding, access, retention, diversity, and graduation rates."
- Lila Jacobs, president of the capital chapter of the California Faculty Association
"Congratulations to The State Hornet for 60 years of service to the students of Sacramento State. Without your commitment to transparency and truthful reporting, our students would not be informed on events, issues and policies pertaining to campus life. 60 years is truly significant and let us hope that you can serve this campus for many more years to come. I look forward to working with the Hornet next year as Associated Students, Inc., president and working together to strengthen the student voice and increase pride and involvement at Sac State. Keep up the great work!"
