Students and faculty are working hard to make sure a new magazine focusing on the College of Arts and Sciences is ready for its December debut.
“We are showing off how diverse and engaged we are by giving our faculty and students a platform to let people see the cool things they do” said magazine editor Daniella Burke.
The magazine will contain news briefs about events held by the college as a whole and some articles that highlight the happenings within departments.
The first issue has two special features. One is a series of interviews with students who went abroad or studied abroad this past summer. The other feature is a spotlight on student work.
There will be about three creative works and two research articles by students in each issue.
“While the interviews are blatant examples of student experience, the student submissions prove that our students are creating great work and getting an incredible education,” said Burke.
The magazine is led by Norma Burgess, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Burke is the head editor and writer. Deby Samuels and Will Mason in UCM take care of the design and other publication details.
“I think it is terrific that (Dean Burgess) and her faculty want to not only highlight some of the many achievements of this particular college, but also want to showcase the work of some of the college’s students,” said Samuels.
The first issue will be released in December before finals are over and will be mailed out to actively donating alumni.
