‘The more you know’

Niomi Nunez, Editor-in-Chief September 21, 2023

As a child, I always thought that “The More You Know” PSAs on cable were out for me because they only confirmed how much I didn’t know about the world. Know-it-all, 8-year-old me would feel blatant...

The unheralded band who inspired all

Robert Hughes, Sports Editor September 21, 2023

I am positive that I am not speaking out of my you-know-what when I say that we have all had conversations surrounding the following question: Who is the most underrated artist or band of all time? It...

Why I love concerts

Luis Lopez, Features and Lifestyle Editor September 21, 2023

Over the past few years, I have attended many concerts than I ever have before. Now, I know most people find them to be a waste of time and money, especially with how pricy tickets can be, but I think...

No one protects young girls

Jocelyn Arroyo-Ariza, News Editor September 7, 2023

See You Next Fall

Kerri Shea, Advertising Manager May 4, 2023

In about two weeks, I will be a college graduate. This issue is most likely full of seniors reflecting on their time at Iona. There are so many things I appreciate about being here, and there are some...

An Open Letter to my Freshman Year Self

Margaret Dougherty, Editor-In-Chief May 4, 2023

Dear Maggie,  Hello again. I wanted to write you (us?) this letter not because I think you need it, but because part of me wishes you did have this advantage. Thinking back to August 25, 2019, here’s...

The New York Yankees will win the 2023 World Series

Lachlan Wellington, Sports Editor April 20, 2023

So I am back with another sporting hot take and after my last one (‘England will win the World Cup') did not quite come true I am back again hoping that this one will come true. Despite England losing...

Ionian Copyediting Position

Emily Varker, Chief Copy Editor April 20, 2023

As I sit here preparing to write what is likely my last opinion for the Ionian, it’s hard not to lean into schmaltz. To combat this, I will therefore not offer you an overly emotional piece about how...

Time flies when you’re overwhelmed

Kerri Shea, Advertising Manager March 30, 2023

As much as I’d love to say senior year was ‘super fun’ and full of memories I’ll never forget, the truth is I can barely recall anything from the fall semester. I always had high expectations for...

How traveling abroad helped me appreciate carving my own path

Joseph Ferrer, Arts & Entertainment Editor March 30, 2023
