This school year the Commerce Times is proud to welcome new members to our team! Congratulations to Alyssa Friesen, our new managing editor, and section editors: Kristina Gustauskas for News, Phoenix Tarampi for Features, Christine Fitzgerald for Arts and Entertainment and Avary Lovell for After Hours. We also welcome Eman Salem, director of sales and marketing, Ivonne Sanchez, director of public relations, and a wealth of new writers both from the journalism and business faculties. We are excited to have you on board along with our returning members; we look forward to our best year yet!

To complement these developments we are excited to announce the launch of our full-service website www.thecommercetimes.com! On our website you can browse through the best of the Commerce Times’ past and current issues, find out about exciting upcoming events, take part in polls, and leave us your feedback.

Keep an eye out for our November issue because it brings the celebration of our first anniversary! Through trials and tribulations we have not only survived, but we have succeeded in attaining campus-wide readership and support! Thank you to the Ted Rogers School of Management and the Ryerson Commerce Society for their continued support.

The Commerce Times would also like to recognize and thank you, our readers. Without you, we would not be here. We encourage you to come out to our pub nights, the first of which will be held on Wednesday, October 7 at 9:00 p.m. at Ram in the Rye, raise a pint and get to know us. We look forward to hosting a number of events this year including coffee houses on our distribution days and BUS 100 workshops. One of our goals this year is to build our presence on campus, so remember to watch for us. We will be everywhere!

If you ever have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact us at commercetimes@gmail.com.

Providing high integrity news and views that connect our students to the world beyond campus,

Amanda Parker, editor in chief, and Alyssa Friesen, managing editor
