LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes

Phot by Kim De Guzman/the Chameleon. We can have our cake...and eat it too! Happy summer, Loyola! Good luck on finals! :]

-STAFF REPORT-   This weekend, the LUChameleon celebrates its one year anniversary.   It’s been a whirlwind year for us.   We published our very first issue last November. We started this publication because we wanted to give a voice to the alternative students on campus.   We wanted to provide another student media opportunity on campus, as well as “talk about things that aren’t usually talked about publicly” on campus.   We started out with the half the number of staff members that we have now, with no resources whatsoever, and we started out as an online only magazine more »

Believing in an alternative college culture: Become a 2012-2013 Chameleon national correspondent

Photo from infoplease.com/Become a Chameleon national correspondent for the 2012-2013 academic school year!

They say college is the best time of a person’s life.   I believe college is the best time of a person’s life, because each person has an experience that’s unique to them.   That doesn’t mean everyone is going to be a college cheerleader or go drinking and partying every night.   What about the young student activists? What about the student progressives?   What about the hipsters? What about those who feel like they’re on the outside of the student life bubble looking in?   At the LUChameleon, we believe in the alternative culture of college campuses. Who more »

Charlie's headed to Rome in the fall! Viva 'Italia! Molto bene!

Ciao from Rome!   This year, we’re adding a new theme to our coverage: race, ethnicity, and culture.   A study abroad experience certainly falls within the parameters of this theme.   We would like to give current, future, and past students at the John Felice Rome Center an opportunity to reflect on their experiences in Rome because we believe studying abroad is an experience that is unique to everyone.   We invite you to share your experience in any way: articles, photo stories, illustrations, poems, creative writing pieces, etc.   Perhaps your experience is also relatable to one of more »

A STAFF LETTER: Look back, look forward, and thank you

Phot by Kim De Guzman/the Chameleon. We can have our cake...and eat it too! Happy summer, Loyola! Good luck on finals! :]

Dear Loyola University Chicago (and the world),   It’s incredibly hard to believe we’re near the end of the 2011-2012 school year.   As we look back on all the memories, the Chameleon staff and I particularly reminisce at the year we’ve had here working at this publication.   The Chameleon was founded because we believed there was no student media publication on campus that catered to an alternative audience.   We also believed there was no official campus magazine that allowed students of all majors to come together and produce a work that interested them.   This magazine has more »
