Over one year ago, The Union’s editorial board began creating and publishing Spotify playlists with each newsletter pertaining to different themes and moods.

The newsletters, comprised of news and other stories relating to El Camino College, are sent to subscribers’ inboxes every two weeks on Thursday mornings.

For the third spring 2021 newsletter playlist, we decided on the theme of ‘Remote tropical vacation’ to celebrate spring break, which will be from April 10-16. Although most of us will be taking our breaks from home and opting out of travel due to COVID-19, these songs will still set that spring break mood.
