Truth in Freedom and Service.
The Ampayag Chronicles (TAC) is the official student publication of the College of International Hospitality and Tourism Management (CIHTM) of Northwestern University. Dedicated to responsible journalism, creative expression, and meaningful storytelling, TAC serves as a platform for student voices, a record of the collegeโs milestones, and a medium for sharing stories that reflect the experiences, aspirations, and achievements of the CIHTM community.
Inspired by Ampayag, an Ilocano word meaning to soar high, the publication embraces the spirit of growth, courage, and limitless possibilities. This meaning reflects its commitment to empowering student journalists to explore new perspectives, challenge ideas thoughtfully, and communicate stories with integrity and purpose. Through campus news, feature articles, opinion pieces, literary works, and creative content, TAC seeks to inform its readers, encourage critical thinking, and strengthen the connection between the college and its community.
More than a source of information, The Ampayag Chronicles is a space where stories find their voice and experiences become part of a shared history. It documents the events, initiatives, achievements, and everyday moments that contribute to the continuing development of CIHTM. From student accomplishments and organizational activities to developments in hospitality and tourism, the publication captures the people and experiences that help shape the identity of the college.
With four released issues, The Ampayag Chronicles has established a growing collection of stories that reflects the dedication, creativity, and commitment of its editorial board and contributors. Each issue represents the collaborative efforts of writers, editors, illustrators, photographers, and other student journalists who work to bring meaningful stories to life. Together, these publications preserve important milestones while providing readers with a glimpse into the evolving experiences and aspirations of the CIHTM community.
Guided by its commitment to truth, freedom, and service, TAC recognizes that journalism carries both the privilege of expression and the responsibility to inform. It aspires to uphold journalistic integrity, promote thoughtful discourse, and give space to perspectives that deserve to be heard. Through its work, the publication encourages students to become not only better communicators but also more observant, responsible, and socially aware members of the community.
As the college continues to grow and embrace new opportunities, The Ampayag Chronicles remains committed to documenting its journey, celebrating its people, and amplifying the voices that make CIHTM distinct. Every story published becomes part of a larger narrativeโone that honors the past, captures the present, and inspires future generations to continue writing their own chapters.
