Campus Life
Student Media
Student Media produces the campus newspaper, The Battalion; the yearbook, Aggieland; and the Campus Directory. All are written, edited and produced by students and offer excellent opportunities to gain valuable experience for journalistic and related careers. Participation is not limited to any course of study or classification, but rather is open to all interested students. Student editors, writers and other staff members receive salaries commensurate with their duties and responsibilities.
The Battalion is published Monday through Friday during fall and spring semesters, and Monday through Thursday during the summer session. It is distributed to students, faculty and staff on campus and at many apartments and other high traffic areas in College Station. The Battalion also is available via online and radio editions. The Aggieland is distributed in the fall but is a year-round project documenting school activities. It is one of the nation’s largest college yearbooks, both in the number of pages and number of copies sold each year. The Campus Directory, published each fall, includes listings of students, faculty, staff and other general information. In addition to these University-wide projects, some academic colleges and student organizations sponsor magazines and similar publications which offer interested students an opportunity to participate in more specialized or technical writing.
