General Information

The Voyager has been the voice of University of West Florida students, faculty and staff since 1968. It is the only independent student-run newspaper at UWF.

The Voyager is brand new each Wednesday. Each issue highlghts news, arts and sports stories, as well as opinion columns, that focus primarily on UWF and greater Pensacola.

One year, a mysterious former Voyager staff painted a very large paper banner to put above the outside doorway closest to our office. Through hurricanes and major building renovation, it still hangs there. The banner sports a version of The Voyager's logo, and what the former staff thought to be the paper's missionstatement:

"To further an environment where students can gain work experience and knowledge, while improving writing, communication and business skills; to promote artistic practice in advertising, layout and photography, and encourage involvement in campus issues and events; to provide information on campus, local and national events that are of interest to the students, faculty and staff of the University of West Florida, while striving to bring the local community together with the University in a highly professional manner."

One very altruistic run-on sentence, to be sure. Minus the grammar problems, it is a mission we try to uphold.

We welcome any and all comment and criticism. Please contact an appropriate staff member directly by using the contact information included in "Voyager Staff" to your left, or e-mail editor@thevoyager.net We certainly appreciate your readership.
