The Warbler is the university yearbook. At Eastern, a yearbook has been continuously published since 1919. Each year every full-time student receives a yearbook. Working out of the newsroom of The Daily Eastern News, The Warbler also is created on a computer pagination system which provides digital files that can be sent directly to the printer. The all-color yearbook serves as an excellent place for Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to put their new editorial, graphic design and photography skills to work.
Diego Aparicio is the faculty advisor for The Warbler. Contact him at daparicio@eiu.edu, or in Buzzard 2417.
