Welcome back students of Michigan State University!

While the heat of summer has started to cool off and tailgate season is only days away (11 to be exact, but who’s counting?), Odyssey at MSU is extremely excited to be returning in print to Michigan State University this fall as we prepare to hit campus each week for the year to come.

And for those of you returning to our wonderful campus after 90 days of tragically doing long distance with the greatest college across the globe, we, at Odyssey, are excited to be the publication you can count on as you engage with the many different ideas and perspectives we offer our readers.

To all the new freshies currently moving into your 11X11 dorm rooms, I promise I didn't forget about you as we are just as excited to have you here, too! Some words of advice: you will be teased if you wear your lanyard around your neck, don’t take offense to being called a freshman because that's exactly what you are and, of course, be sure to check out Odyssey at Michigan State each week to catch up on the most recent stories we are excited to share with you all.

With even more content creators curating controversy and creating compelling stories that will leave you speechless, we are excited to bring to you the voice of Generation Y online and to your fingertips. Whether you’re in the mood for hard-hitting news or a highly opinionated editorial, we have it all.

So get ready for the best start of the school year with Odyssey at MSU! As you settle down in your new homes and begin to celebrate your Spartan legacy once more, let us keep you up to date with the latest and greatest news from the best content creators on campus.

Without further ado, enjoy your first print issue for the 2016-17 school year!
