While on exchange at CSULB, Jessica Meisels was a staff writer for the Union Weekly newspaper from September 2010-March 2011. She was a friendly face at our weekly meetings, and eagerly wrote many quality articles. Meisels gained experience in learning about the workings of the paper that equated to completing the satisfactory required amount of hours for a journalism internship. And we, in turn, were able to learn from Meisels unique experiences. While Meisels worked with our newspaper, I was the paper’s culture editor. Meisels was a great asset during her time here, bringing a strong voice to a newspaper that aims to spread the student’s voice. Besides writing for my culture page, she displayed great versatility as she also wrote about literature and covered sporting events. It has been several months since Meisels left, and she is greatly missed here. Sincerely, Leo Portugal Managing Editor (818)395-7182
