About theMQ

Our meetings are every Tuesday evening at 6:00 pm. They're set in lovely John Muir College, in the Half Dome Lounge. Need to know where Half Dome is? We've got you covered.

The MQ, formerly known as the Muir Quarterly, is the official college newspaper of Muir College at the University of California, San Diego. We don't publish for Muir College alone, however. We're growing rapidly, currently publishing more than twice per quarter and distributing to the whole of the UCSD campus. Our goal is to entertain, amuse, and inform our fellow students, just not necessarily in that order. The MQ is run by students from all six of the UCSD colleges, not just Muir. Our target audience is the entire UCSD student body.

The MQ is funded by the Muir College Office of the Dean, the Muir College Parent's Fund, Muir College Council, Muir Residential Life, and our advertisers. We have also received a generous donation from the John Denver Memorial Fund.

We're always looking to expand our staff, welcoming writers, editors, artists, layout staff, graphic designers, photographers, web staff, and humans. Anyone who is interested in The MQ is welcome to join, with no prior experience necessary.

The only commitment we do ask for is that you attend our weekly meetings. It's at these meetings where we, in theory, make assignments and plan the issues. Of course, a fairly large portion of every meeting is nothing more than going off on amusing tangents whilst socializing. In the end, we're just trying to have some fun.
