OPINION: New editor, same Bridge

OPINION: New editor, same Bridge By Juan Carlos PuenteEditor-in-chiefPublished Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024 Hello, TAMIU! My name is Juan Carlos Puente, newly appointed editor-in-chief for The Bridge. You may have seen my name on a handful of stories from last semester, or viewed my and my team’s Instagram work or on other various platforms, as I was The Bridge’s previous social media manager. I’m currently a senior studying communication with a minor in marketing at Texas A&M International University, and am currently set to graduate in December of 2024.

SPORTS: Men’s basketball faces series of away games

SPORTS: Men’s basketball faces series of away games By Jorge EscuderoBridge contributing writerPublished Friday, Dec. 8, 2023 Exhausted and dripping with sweat, the basketball players take turns filling their cups at the water jug to rehydrate before returning to the court. An intense, nearly three-hour-long practice session concluded with most players needing to ice their sore muscles, which are pushed to their limits every day. The TAMIU men’s basketball team practices daily, five to sometimes six days a week. Only one week before their first game of the season, they were preparing to hit the road for a series of back-to-back away games.

OPINION: To TAMIU, I bid adieu

OPINION: To TAMIU, I bid adieu By Neto GonzalezEditor-in-chiefPublished Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023 As I bid farewell to TAMIU and The Bridge, a wave of nostalgia and gratitude washes over me. Leading this newspaper has been a labor of love, a challenging yet immensely rewarding experience that I proudly call mine. The Bridge became a canvas for our collective passion for journalism, a platform to amplify student voices and a testament to the power of community-driven storytelling. The countless sleepless nights spent working on projects, stories, midterms and finals were not merely moments of stress but tests of resilience. Neto GonzalezEditor-in-chief Beyond the newsroom, the relationships forged on campus are the heartbeats of my Texas A&M International University journey. P...

OPINION: Dating in digital era

OPINION: Dating in digital era By Destiny R. SanchezAssistant EditorPublished Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023 Growing up as the oldest of four children, I was always warned of the dangers of dating.

Dating just isn’t how it used to be 10, 20, 30 years ago.  Destiny Sanchez We live in the digital age, where follower count and Snapchat scores matter. Then, there’s that one point where we all wait for that one person to like our Instagram story that was specifically posted for them. The greatest thing a person can do now to grab your attention is head straight into your direct messages with a simple “hey” and that’s where it all begi...
