Student Opportunities
Publication Experience
Perhaps the most active student organization associated with the English Department is The Coe Review. Centered in a "practicum" course, Editing a Literary Magazine, the Coe Review staff learns all of the aspects of producing a literary magazine, from soliciting materials, through managing finances, to layout and printing. Students produce two volumes each year, a poetry issue and a fiction issue.
There are many other opportunities for English students to gain the experience of participating in interesting publications.
- The Cosmos — college newspaper.
- Colere — a literary magazine that focuses on intercultural experience.
- The Pearl — a literary magazine for nonfiction.
In addition to these official publications, some courses publish their work in print or on the Internet. One example is Fantasticoe, an Internet magazine of fantasy fiction produced in Introduction to Creative Writing.
And some of the best student course essays have been published.
- Heather Petsche's Senior Thesis
- Sharon Sedlacek's Literary Analysis essay
- Papers from Ann Struthers's seminar on Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams
