In the spring, we asked readers of our four digital issues of The Scranton Journal to fill out a survey that would help us improve the online magazine. We were thrilled to hear from more than 300 respondents about our more frequent issues, which we published online in order to conserve resources during the pandemic.

We continue to value your opinion, and want to give you the best stories and information to connect you to your alma mater. In the coming issues, we will consider all feedback to make sure our online magazine works for you!
