Scribendi 2010 Click above for larger image

The 24th edition of Scribendi, published in April 2010, features 37 works by 28 undergraduate writers and artists representing 15 honors programs and colleges in the western U.S. These works were chosen by our staff from a record number of 487 total submissions by 198 students in 44 universities or colleges in the 13-state western region of the U.S. While space and budget limitations made it impossible for the staff to publish all the fine works we received, we worked hard to make our final selections representative of the diversity and high quality of works produced by Honors students in the western region.

Copies of this newest edition of our magazine, as well as back issues, are now available for a suggested donation of $10-$15 through our office or through our Paypal link on this web site.

Scribendi 2010 had its regional debut at the Western Regional Honors Council Conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on April 9, 2010. Our local Opening Reception was Thursday, April 15, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the University Honors Program Forum, Ground floor of the Student Health Center building.

2010-2011 Staff Applications Now Closed
Because of an unusually large number of Scribendi Staff applications for 2010-2011, the Scribendi course is now full. Therefore, no new applications for the Scribendi staff will be considered at this time. However, Visiting Staff Exchange Applications from students at other WRHC schools will continue to be accepted. UNM students may still submit applications, which will be considered if any spaces open up between now and the time school starts in August. Please feel free to let Dr. Leslie Donovan know if you have any questions.

Functioning largely as an educational internship in small publication production, the two UHP courses required of Scribendi staff members (one in the fall and one in the spring semesters) provide students with practical, hands-on experience in proofreading, copyediting, typography, magazine design and layout (using desktop publishing software), fund-raising, marketing and distribution, as well as small press management.

Staff members are selected through an application and interview process. Before applying, please read the information for potential staff members at this link. Applications may be found on that same page.

For additional information, contact Professor Leslie Donovan, at ldonovan@unm.edu or at 277-4313 or check out the course description at http://www.unm.edu/~honors.
