Scribendi News
|
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

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.
Back issues of Scribendi are available in
the Scribendi office (UNM Campus, Student Health Center, Room 11C) for
a suggested donation of $10-$15. You may also order them through Paypal
by following this link.
