Background

The Hawk, Philadelphia, Tuesday, June 1929, has notably recorded the history of Saint Joseph for 90 years. For people who have worked there, it is a place to learn, grow, build up friendships that can last long after graduation, and inspire a future career. The staffers are found at work at every game, lecture, meeting, and special event. They handle every aspect of production, including putting physical copies in distribution boxes early Wednesday mornings. Whether the staff lands a big story or makes the smallest mistake, it’s all there in print. The people they write about are neighbors, dormmates, professors and others they may encounter in their lives as St. Joe’s students. [1]
