The Flame is the News portal for the Students’ Union, which also acts as the student newsletter to keep students up-to-date on campus life, activities, housing, and other issues that impact students and student life.
The Flame was developed to give the SU a place to publish research, statistics, and other important information we wanted to be easily accessible for students. It provides an accessible portal for important transparency content like Students’ Council reports, updates on advocacy efforts and Executive projects, so that students can engage with the UASU’s work to support students on campus.
When the Flame was developed, the Gateway student newspaper was in transition, moving from publishing as a print newspaper into a magazine and online news source. One goal of the Flame was to make sure that if any downtime were to occur with the Gateway, there would be a place where students could find the up-to-date information they need.
