About The Roundup

Our staff is always willing to discuss The Roundup’s coverage of the Jesuit community.

Story ideas predominantly are generated by The Roundup editors, staff reporters, and moderators. Tips and story suggestions are always welcome from members of the Jesuit community who may use this form to suggest a story idea.

Groups should pass along pertinent information to The Roundup Staff at least one week before a planned event, but we invite our readers to voice their thoughts on the scope and type of The Roundup’s coverage by contacting any of the editors, staff reporters, or moderators directly.

2020 First Class Rating

“Congratulations on finishing a truly history defining school year. I can’t imagine what it was like for you in Texas trying to be teenagers, students, and journalists during this insane time. But, on the bright side, your staff did a pretty excellent job throughout the school year covering the stories that were important to your readers and finding ways to tell them in an interesting way. That being said, I’d like to also congratulate your staff on sticking with your publication and hunkering down to produce content during the pandemic. It’s not easy to continue working when your world has been turned upside down, but your staff did it.”
