Miscellany

Miscellany is the College's student-produced literary and art journal. Students are invited to submit their original artwork, poetry, photography and prose to be considered for publication. A student committee consisting of individuals selected by the editor-in-chief will meet during the beginning of each semester to select works for publication in Miscellany. The finished product is distributed to the campus community in the fall and spring.
