This subseries contains issues of the Picaro, which is the name of the student newspaper which was owned and operated by Mount Saint Vincent University’s Student Union. The Picaro began in 1965 but the name was briefly changed to Jargon from 2002-2004 and was eventually changed to Sentinel in 2005.
This subseries contains copies of the student handbook and documents related to its production such as records of correspondence between those involved.
This subseries contains two miscellaneous publications: a student council election pamphlet, and a pamphlet on the National Week of Reflection (co-produced by the Women's Studies Society and the Mount Saint Vincent Student Union in commemoration of the Montreal Massacre).
