What Topics and Campus Areas Does The Advance-Titan Cover?

The Advance-Titan covers UW Oshkosh campus news, Titans athletics, arts and culture, opinion, and local Oshkosh community events. It is the independent student newspaper of the UW Oshkosh campuses, and its coverage is organized around those sections rather than a single beat. If you want student-government decisions, dining changes, sports results, or campus-life features, this is the publication to check.

Campus News and Student Government

The news section follows decisions and changes that affect students directly. Recent examples include a preview of upcoming university dining changes shared at an Oshkosh Student Government (OSG) town hall, a report on a campus coffee shop opened by UWO business students, and coverage of a "Love Thy Neighbor" panel. Student government meetings and campus policy announcements are recurring subjects, so this section is the place to look for institutional news rather than sports or features.

Titans Athletics

Sports coverage focuses on UW-Oshkosh teams and their results. Recent items include:

• Football: a 38-6 loss to UW-Platteville and back-to-back Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matchups.
• Volleyball: the No. 3 women's volleyball team's undefeated week, with wins over Marian University and No. 14 UW-Eau Claire.
• Transfer stories: a feature on two athletes highlighting transfer success at UWO.

Coverage includes game recaps, conference context, and athlete profiles, with sports staff credited on individual stories.

Arts & Culture

This section covers campus cultural programming and seasonal student life. Examples include an Inter-Tribal Student Council panel titled "My Culture is Not Your Costume," a Ghosts of Oshkosh Past tour, Halloween budgeting advice, a guide to making a boo basket, and a history of the UWO mascot. The focus is on events students can attend and traditions they participate in.

Opinion

Opinion pieces range from local color to campus commentary. Recent examples include a roundup of best-decorated houses around UW-Oshkosh, homemade Halloween treat recipes, an examination of Chancellor Singh's tenure by A-T staff, and a comparison of homecoming in high school versus college. These are signed staff perspectives, not straight news.

Local Oshkosh Community

Community coverage extends beyond campus boundaries. The decorated-houses feature, for instance, profiles a neighborhood resident who has decorated his lawn for years. Local events and off-campus people appear alongside university stories, which makes the paper useful for readers who want Oshkosh context, not just campus news.

How to Keep Up

The site publishes stories with dates and bylines, so you can scan the section headings to find the beat you need. It also offers newsletter signup: a general newsletter and a sports newsletter, with an email address required. Subscribing is the most direct way to get new coverage without checking the homepage.

If your question is about a specific area — dining, a team, or a campus event — start with the matching section above; the paper's structure maps closely to those categories.
