Student Life (StudLife) is the independent student-run newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis. It was founded in 1878 and incorporated in 1999. It is published by the Washington University Student Media, Inc.[1] and is not subject to the approval of the University administration, thus making it an independent student voice.[2]
It is published regularly every Thursday. Special issues include orientation and commencement issues, an April Fool's Day issue (called Student Libel); and a Valentine's Day issue centered on sex (called Student Love).[3] It has won multiple National Pacemaker Awards, recognizing the best college newspapers in the country, most recently in 2011.
It is an affiliate of UWIRE,[4] which distributes and promotes its content to their network.
