In accordance with our mission statement, it is The VanCougar’s utmost priority to practice transparency, independence and to minimize harm. Further details can be found in the Society of Professional Journalist’s Code of Ethics. Because of these high standards that we hold ourselves to, we must inform our audiences that a previous version of the story entitled “Art exhibit captures the ‘inevitability of:’” stated Betsy Hanrahan was a graduate student. This statement is incorrect and she is just an alumna from WSU Vancouver.
Additionally, a previous newsletter sent on Sept. 22 stated one of The VanCougar’s reporters, Arabelle May, was an author of the Op-Ed piece “Is WSU Vancouver prepared to reopen”. A nonaffiliated student at WSU Vancouver, Alysha Henderson, is the author of this piece.
Emily is a senior studying integrated strategic communication at WSU Vancouver.
