A little bit about The Union
The Union is El Camino College’s student-run newspaper and the only local source of news for its college community. Everything published by The Union is done by student journalists. Despite barriers to reporting created by COVID-19 and other forces, our entire staff works incredibly hard to keep the El Camino community informed.
With the impacts of the coronavirus far-reaching, The Union has expanded its scope of coverage to include countless communities where El Camino College’s students, professors, employees and community members live. As the campus remains closed, we remain publishing to deliver local news to the people of ECC.
If you have any comments or questions about this issue of The Union’s newsletter or any of the stories you’ve read, please contact our Editor-in-Chief Nicholas Broadhead by emailing his email at nicholas_broadhead@elcamino.edu.
