We had an idea last fall to make a features magazine that would tell the stories of college and campus. So, we ran with it. Though there have been attempts before to make a student-run magazine, there has never been a successful attempt at doing so. Before you is The Pioneer, made with the resources and mind power behind The Oakland Post. The Post is Oakland University’s independent student newspaper, and The Pioneer is Oakland’s independent student magazine. We have spent extra time throughout the last six months to plan out, write, brand and produce the stories and content you’re holding in your hand. While not everyone who is a part of this magazine is what we call “A Postie”, we at The Oakland Post are grateful for the hard work from our creative and outgoing staff. We hope you enjoy these stories just as much as we have enjoyed writing them.

Sincerely,

The Posties.
