Is The Bulletin affiliated with Emporia State University?

Yes. The Bulletin (esubulletin.com) is a student news publication covering Emporia State University. Its coverage is built around ESU campus affairs, and its staff bylines are student editors and writers. The site describes itself as the "Voice of the students since 1901." If you are looking for student-reported news about Emporia State — campus events, university systems, athletics, and student life — this is the publication to check.

What The Bulletin covers

The Bulletin's stories are ESU-centered. Recent items on the site include:

• Campus news and university systems — for example, a report that Emporia State adopted Coursedog academic scheduling software.
• Student services and community projects — a "Strive to Provide" awareness campaign for Corky's Cupboard, a campus food pantry.
• Graduation logistics — a piece on what fall graduates need to know, including the Nov. 6 deadline to order regalia (cap, gown, and tassel) for delivery to the bookstore.
• Athletics — an ESU soccer match report against Northeastern State.
• Arts and events — coverage of the annual Music Gala benefit concert and Beach Hall's centennial, plus an "Art Unleashed" fundraiser by the ESU Art Program.
• Opinion — student-written columns on personal and campus topics.
• Hornet Life — items such as ESU hosting rural high school seniors for a Constitution Day Conference.

The through-line is Emporia State: its programs, its calendar, its teams, and its students.

Who writes it

The bylines are student journalists. Roles visible on the site include Editor-in-Chief, News Editor, Copy Editor, Staff Writer, and Opinion Writer. That staffing pattern is consistent with a student-run newsroom rather than a university communications office.

How to read the affiliation

Two things are true at once, and it helps to keep them separate:

For official university policies, deadlines, or administrative announcements, treat The Bulletin as a reporting source and confirm details with the relevant ESU office. For student perspective, campus context, and day-to-day coverage, it is a direct source.

Practical uses

• Following campus news: read the news, Hornet Life, and sports sections for current ESU items.
• Checking deadlines: student-reported pieces flag dates such as the fall regalia order deadline, but verify against the university before acting.
• Understanding student opinion: the Opinion section shows what students are debating, not institutional positions.

The Bulletin also accepts donations through Stripe to support equipment, website hosting, and continued publication — separate from any university funding question, and covered in more detail in the related question on how donating works.
