The Lanthorn Student Newspaper

The Lanthorn is published twice each week and is a great way to advertise campus events and activities.  The Lanthorn is read by several thousand students along with faculty and staff.  Their on-staff advertising designers can help lay out an attractive ad and student organizations can advertise at discounted rates. 

Another great way to promote events is to contact them and have a reporter write a story about the upcoming event.  Their office is located downstairs in the Commons.  The phone number is 331-2460, or more information is available on the web at: lanthorn.com.
