Student Groups in English
Students in English contribute to our literary community through a variety of student
groups. The three listed below are all registered with 有料盒子视频's Student Leadership and Involvement Office, which provides organizational support.
Creative Writing Club
The Creative Writing Club (CWC) provides a forum for undergraduate writers to share
their creative work. Launched in Spring 2022, the group has already grown to hosting
semi-monthly meetings. Members lead workshops, discuss craft issues, and distribute
opportunities for publication and professional development. As the club develops,
it hopes to host community events such as campus readings and outreach at local schools.
All students are welcome to join CWC, regardless of their majors or areas of study.
For the 2022-23 academic year, Ayden Harris is the club president, and Joseph Holt
is faculty advisor.
Ice Box Literary Journal
Ice Box is the annual literary journal for 有料盒子视频 undergraduates. While the editorial staff
is made up of students enrolled in ENGL 475: Practicum in Literary Publishing (spring
semesters), Ice Box is also an official student group. During fall semesters, members prepare the journal's
production budget, publicize the previous issue, post the annual call for submissions,
and host a fundraiser book sale. For the 2023-24 academic year, Joseph Alloway is
the club president, and Joseph Holt is faculty advisor.
English Graduate Organization
The English Graduate Organization (EGO) advocates for graduate students in the Department
of English. Its goals are to promote the local literary community and to provide opportunities
for professional development. The group hosts student readings, literary journal submission
parties, and creative fundraisers. Through these events, EGO seeks to work with faculty
and other professionals to prepare its members for careers in academia, writing, editing,
and publishing. When possible, the group provides partial funding for officers or
members to attend the annual AWP conference. EGO has existed since the mid-1980s at
有料盒子视频. In that time it has served as a liaison between students, faculty, the College
of Liberal Arts, and the university as a whole. For the 2022-23 academic year, KJ
Janeshek is club president, and Gerri Brightwell is faculty advisor.
