Across 100 years, the layout of the Setonian has changed over and over.
College basketball, more specifically its atmosphere, can be boiled down to one factor: the fans. The term “home court advantage” itself, which is otherwise known as the benefit of the home team over the visitor, personifies the impact that sports enthusiasts have on the product seen on the court.
If you would have told me in my junior year of high school that I would be a part of the editorial board of one of the top, award-winning collegiate newspapers, I would have never believed you.
Seton Hall is a basketball school through and through, but did you know that they used to have a football program?
Following Iowa’s blowout victory over Holy Cross in March 2023, Caitlin Clark made comments suggesting women’s college basketball is more popular than men’s this season.
On March 15, Seton Hall filed a motion to dismiss former University President Dr. Joseph Nyre’s multilayered lawsuit, which alleged gaslighting, retaliation and breach of contract.
When I joined the Setonian as a news writer in Dec. 2022, I never imagined myself joining its editorial board, let alone its 100th editorial board. Mainly because I didn’t think I was cut out for it.
Over a century, this newspaper has evolved alongside the students that have continued its legacy for this long. Today, you can access its content from almost anywhere in the world with just a few clicks and an internet connection. Yet, there was still a time when all of this content was locked behind a yearly subscription.
Tell-tale jokes and obscene levels of sarcasm sum up the first day of April. Riddled with warning titles of “April Fools’ Issues,” the on-and-off tradition of the Setonian falling on April 1 and occasionally the last issue in March was short-lived.
It was late in the summer before my senior year when Emma Thumann asked me to be the Setonian’s news copy editor. I had never done a lick of work for the paper. I am as much a journalist as I am a person who can do long division; that is to say, not at all. How I came into consideration for this position remains a mystery, but I type before you today as a proud member of the Setonian’s 100th editorial board.
It’s not every day that a trailblazer comes to Seton Hall University. Renowned basketball commentator, sideline reporter, and ESPN analyst Doris Burke sat down on Feb. 23 to discuss her journey and share valuable advice to those aspiring to work in sports media.
The Seton Hall men’s basketball team celebrated Senior Night with an 86-62 victory over the DePaul Blue Demons, marking DePaul’s winless conference showing at 0-20. The contest was especially important, considering that the seeding decision for the BIG EAST tournament was still ongoing.
On a rainy New Jersey night, fans piled into the Prudential Center to watch Seton Hall defeat Villanova, 66-56. Senior guard Kadary Richmond continued to impress, leading the way with 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
As we celebrate the Setonian’s centennial anniversary, it's prudent to celebrate the gender and cultural diversity in the Setonian staff since our school became co-educational almost 60 years ago. The Setonian is widely regarded as the voice of Seton Hall’s community, and by researching the history of marginalized leaders representing this paper, I’ve been familiarized with the former voices in the Setonian that have molded the foundation of a diverse set of staff today. Traveling decades down the paper’s archives shows a vivid school life, all encapsulated by former issues of this paper.
Being a part of the Setonian’s 100th editorial board has been nothing short of rewarding. I am so grateful that I get to work alongside such talented writers and photographers who are passionate about journalism.

On March 19, 1924, the first edition of The Setonian was published and now the student-run Seton Hall newspaper is preparing to celebrate its 100th year anniversary.
I remember when I wrote my first article for the Setonian. I felt the rush of a deadline, the excitement of finally writing, and the nervousness of interviews.
