Hello, Integreaders and the entire INTEGRITY family!

With a heavy heart, we begin this new chapter with an apology. We, the INTEGRITY board for the 2024/2025 period, sincerely regret the inconvenience caused by the inaccessibility of our old website, integrityusd.com. Technical oversights led to an unexpected and deeply upsetting situation.

As the new management team began to set our course at the start of our term, we were shocked by a harsh reality: our beloved website was no longer accessible. Our hearts sank when we discovered that the domain was now “hosting” an online gambling account. Imagine a platform that once served as a site for young journalists’ expressions and ideas, now operated by something what we strongly oppose and which goes against all student values. It was a devastating blow that left us incredibly saddened.

However, we understood that we could not let this sadness dim our hope. We knew the spirit of Integrity had to keep burning bright. From February to May, we fought hard. We explored various avenues to reclaim the old domain, while simultaneously exploring options to build a new digital home. We grappled with hope and disappointment, trying every possible way, but good news never came.

Finally, after intensive discussions with our fellow board members and our beloved advisors, a glimmer of hope appeared. We found a clear path to start anew, from scratch. With renewed spirit, integrityeiusd.com was born. The “ei” itself, we now define as “Expressive Ink”, is a representation of the expressions, thoughts, ideas, and imaginations we will pour onto these pages.

We hope this new website will be a vessel of “ink” for us to write countless stories and creativity. More than that, we want integrityeiusd.com to also be a home for every “ink” of expression from our fellow students of the Department of English Letters at Universitas Sanata Dharma. Let’s make this our shared stage.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all Integreaders, fellow students, and everyone who has provided endless advice, input, and support until now. Integrity’s journey is still long, and we deeply hope for your continued support for every step forward.

We hope everyone enjoys our new home!

Warm regards,

The INTEGRITY Editorial

Team 2024/2025
