Welcome to St. Edward’s University!

This is your campus newspaper: Hilltop Views. It is your source for breaking news and features about St. Edward’s and the surrounding community.

There are two versions of Hilltop Views — the print edition you are reading right now, which will come out every Wednesday, and the online edition where you can find the same stories plus web exclusive content. Online, you can watch Hilltop Views produced content as well as videos from Topper TV.

Once a semester, we publish a special issue. Last semester, we covered sexual assault; this semester we plan to cover mental health. 

As editors of Hilltop Views, we have dedicated a huge chunk of our college careers to journalism, and we hope that you read the newspaper and are possibly motivated to join us in delivering news on the hilltop.

Want to join Hilltop Views? Follow us on Twitter @HilltopViews and like us on Facebook. You don’t need experience to write for us! Like to take photos? Come on by. Like to write? Come on and join the family. 

We hope you enjoy the rest of this special orientation issue of Hilltop Views and are as excited for the next four years as we are. Don’t forget to pick up the newest issue every Wednesday and visit our website at hilltopviewsonline.com.

See you around the Hilltop!
