Every year, seniors come and go, leaving their mark on their school even when they’re gone. Some stand out more and leaves bigger marks in their university. This year’s seniors on the softball team are some of those seniors. These five seniors include two conference tournament champions and a couple All-Americans, have been a part [...]

Three finalists for dean of Emporia State’s School of Business visited the campus, Emporia Arts Center and various places in the community over the last two weeks. Each candidate’s visit consisted of individual meetings with the search committee, the ESU provost council, as well as an open forum with faculty, staff and students, as well [...]
Just 15 minutes after getting their fingers pricked, students could get results of a free HIV test last Thursday in the Memorial Union Main Street. “It is really important to know what your status is,” said Teresa Romey, Ryan White Part D Case Manager for the KU Medical Practice Association. “We do free testing programs [...]
Gov. Sam Brownback paid a visit to Emporia State last Friday where he held a private meeting with select faculty, staff, President Michael Shonrock and representatives of the student government, among others. Afterward, he held a small press conference in the Kansas Business Hall of Fame in Cremer Hall. “What I’m calling for is stable [...]

Brooke Schmidt, Associated Student Government president and senior Spanish major, began this semester’s final ASG meeting April 25 by expressing her appreciation for the gathered senators and all the work they did for Emporia State during school year. “I’m just really extremely proud with this past year we’ve had,” Schmidt said. “We’ve done a lot [...]
For many students, studying abroad can be a dream come true. For others, it may seem totally out of reach because of the cost. But Michelle Cunningham, Study Abroad graduate assistant in the Office of International Education, said the cost is not as high as people might think. “The student can use any financial aid [...]
It has come to our attention that last week’s Staff-Editorial “Chick-fil-A: The Easy Way” was quick to conclude that the Chick-fil-A Leadercast set for May 10 was an attempt to bring Chick-fil-A to Emporia. We were wrong. Our sincerest apologies go to the Emporia Area Chamber and Chick-fil-A for mischaracterizing the event. We strive for [...]

For those who are unsure what the next step should be, Career Services is here to help. June Coleman, director of Career Services, said the goal of the program is to provide a variety of services [...]

High school band students from eastern and central Kansas made their way to Emporia State for the Kansas State High School Activities Association 6A Solos and Small Ensembles Festival on Saturday. Soloists and ensembles performed before judges in Beach Hall, Plumb Hall and Roosevelt Hall. Senior music major Kenji Bolden was among the many music [...]
Surprisingly few students came to see Gov. Sam Brownback Friday in Cremer Hall – probably because only a handful were invited. It’s just as well because he didn’t say anything new. But for every ill-conceived policy Brownback has recently been associated with, it seems like his approach to universities in Kansas deserves some praise and [...]
At first I was excited to see the headline of the Staff Editorial Chick-fil-A: The Easy Way dated on April 18, 2013. Then I began reading the article and was surprised at the direction it went. Chick-fil-A® Leadercast® is a one-day leader development event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Ga. to hundreds of sites throughout the [...]
Once upon a time, school was considered a reasonably safe place for people to spend eight or more hours of their day. Not so much these days. What has changed is that now we know that knowing what to do in a crisis can save lives. The Newtown, Conn. shooting wasn’t as bad as it [...]
Beyond falling into patterns of de facto segregation on campus, there are rumors of exclusion of students from racial minority backgrounds during both Greek and P.R.I.D.E. Week that should cause us some concern. It is emblematic of a nation-wide ignorance about race. Although my heart goes out to those affected by the violence in Boston, [...]
To the future staff and editors of The Bulletin, The academic year is coming to a close, and our final issue is published. As those of us who are graduating take a moment to catch our breath, it is important that you envision The Bulletin you want to create for the future. To that end, [...]
I’d love to tell you what was said at the meeting between Gov. Sam Brownback and university leaders last Friday in Cremer Hall, but I can’t. I wasn’t allowed in. Neither was anybody else who wasn’t invited – no press, no students, no faculty. When The Bulletin received word a few weeks ago that the [...]
Our country stands at a crossroads. The current debate between equal rights and morality creates a polarizing effect on our country. The tides are turning, but the direction is still questionable. We have been at a crossroads like this before. Recognizing equal rights of black Americans and women started at state and local levels before [...]
In times of crisis, mental health services are often the last line of defense for students who feel like they don’t have anyone to turn to. With all of the concern Emporia State shows for the student body, it’s disappointing that there isn’t a push for more visibility and use of the services that are [...]
Emporia is open for business. Let’s just hope that the business we welcome is one we really want and need. The Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau will host a Chick-fil-A leadercast May 10. But to add another fast food chain to our community is a step in the wrong direction. It makes [...]
I occasionally find Kansas doing something to draw more attention than outdated “Wizard of Oz” references or speaking of the insane weather patterns we experience. Proposing absolutely crazy pieces of legislation appears to be the strategy du jour. For example, a recent Kansas bill advocates the cutting of all state funds that would somehow assist, [...]
Sometimes it can seem like we are cut off from the rest of the world here in Emporia. We go about our daily lives and rarely think about people and societies so far away from us. Then we hear about how people are getting sick and dying of the H7N9 bird flu in China, and [...]
As you place your final exam on your professor’s desk and walk out the door, the first thought that comes to mind is what you plan on doing with those three glorious months of summer. The furthest thought is the campus itself. The problem is that Emporia State continues to exist even if you are [...]
This week, I make a push for the administration to focus on outreach. Walking through the Memorial Union last week, as the hallway was lined with countless students who took the time to come support two of their classmates, punctuated a period of my life that I will never forget. In a moment of self-reflection, [...]
No material theft is without intangible consequences. Whether it’s glass blowing equipment, desktop computers or cameras, the recent wave of missing items from across campus brings hardship for those who rely on those items to pursue what they love. Obviously, the thief/thieves don’t care. We care. They’ve taken more than just objects. They’ve robbed students [...]
I hear a lot of students complaining about so many things on campus – about the food in the Hornet’s Nest, about not knowing when an event was happening until it was too late, about failing classes and so much more. Some complaints are valid, and some are just stress-venting. Often, a complaint is followed [...]
