Student Life (newspaper)

Student Life 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. and is not subject to the approval of the University administration, thus making it the independent student voice.

Student Life comes out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and it publishes special orientation and commencement issues, as well as an April Fool's Day issue called Student Libel and an issue centered around sex for Valentine's Day. "StudLife", as it is nicknamed by students, has won the National Pacemaker Award twice, most recently in 2009; the Pacemaker is awarded to recognize the best college newspapers in the country.
