With the help of our partners at Queens University of Charlotte, we are excited to announce the addition of 108 new issues of the Queens University of Charlotte Student Newspaper. This latest batch includes over 900 pages that detail student stories, Queens University history, and world events from 1989 to 2014. This new addition adds to the collection of Queens University of Charlotte Student Newspaper issues already available on DigitalNC, which includes issues dating back to 1920 when it was published under the title “Queens Blues.”

The majority of the newest issues hail from the golden years of the early aughts, during a time when the introduction of technology like social media and cellphones left its mark on the world and radically changed the college experience of students. At the same time, students grappled with global issues like the War in Iraq and the 2009 Financial Crisis. Closer to campus, students at the Queens University of Charlotte fought for issues such as better dining standards and increased accessibility. Across a decade of immense change, students at the Queens University of Charlotte did their best to understand the fast-moving currents of the 2000s. These latest issues of the Queens University of Charlotte Student Newspaper record what was in and what was out both on campus and around the world. Below are some examples of students’ ins and outs:
