It was a slow news week this week at The Red & Black. So slow, in fact, that we had some difficulty coming up with ideas for institutional editorials. We ended up choosing to write about the Harry Potter craze as well as volunteering opportunities.
We had two contributor stories this week which both dealt with volunteering opportunities for students in Athens — and both were at places most students don't necessarily think about immediately (such as the local animal shelter). So when I was putting together the budget, I made sure to package those two on the same page — and when we had our editorial board meeting, we decided it would be worth writing an institutional about students volunteering.
I did a little research for it and found out that Georgia college students lag behind other states' college-aged students in volunteer work, so I found it especially important for the editorial to be written.
