Today is truly the most momentous day in the history of The Origin* as we begin the year 2020 as an independent CCA! After years of our seniors working tirelessly to build up The Origin to where it is today, we have finally achieved the long-awaited dream of independence! A big thank you to all our seniors, writers and designers who work hard to produce quality articles and designs. Kudos to you for never giving up, even when the going got tough. We also owe our independence to you, our readers, as your continued support allowed us to be recognised as an independent CCA. We could not have done it without you!

But what does independence entail? Independence opens up a whole new path forward and we are now more committed than ever to ride on this success. With the start of a new decade, a brand new campus and Orientation coming up, it will be a busy month for us in January as we work on numerous articles covering all of these activities. 

Our new campus leaves much to explore, and you can expect to see many articles on the campus and the surrounding areas in our collaboration with the Orientation committee. Be sure to download the Orientation app too when it comes out as our articles will be featured and it contains many other useful tools.

The Origin* is off to a great start in 2020 and we have high hopes for the rest of the year. Here’s to Press as an independent CCA! 

Signing off,
