La Ventana is a publication produced by students in the Department of Student Media, in the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management. The book uses the independent editor model, meaning the student editor, chosen by the Student Media Committee, runs the day-to-day activities of the publication and is in no way influenced by outside officials as far as coverage and editorial decisions. Staff members hired by the editor produce the book during the fall and spring semesters.
