Last week Friday, the Cardinal & Cream, Union's student-run newspaper, released their spring magazine outside the SUB. With Mempops there to hand out their signature popsicles and the Cardinal & Cream staff in attendance to distribute the new magazines, it was a release day to remember!
"In this issue of the Cardinal & Cream, we reflect on restoration: what gives us life, what brings us rest, where we experience renewal. It is a little on the nose that this is the Spring edition, the season of restoration. Life springs back from death as buds start to blossom on trees again. But of course, every story we tell serves to point back to the greatest story of all: the Gospel. It is the ultimate story of perfect and complete restoration." Margee Stanfield, Cardinal & Cream Editor-in-Chief
If you missed out, you can still grab a magazine from the red boxes across campus, or read it online at https://www.cardinalandcream.info/2026/cardinal-cream-spring-2026-edition/
