Student Publications, Clubs, and Presentations

Loyola University has long supported the university's mission of eloquentia perfecta (perfect eloquence). Nowhere is this more obvious than in the active student publications, Corridors, Warnings, The Odyssey, and in past publications, Forum, Garland, The Evergreen Quarterly, Ignis, and Unicorn. The writing department also believes good writers should be good speakers and presenters. We encourage students to gain experience showcasing their work and the works of others in professional settings such as poetry and fiction readings, conference presentations, and publishing in off-campus journals.

Internships and Service-Learning

Loyola’s writing department offers a number of courses that include service-learning components. Often working with Loyola's Center for Community, Service, and Justice (CCSJ), service-learning courses allow students and instructors to collaborate with local organizations and bring about positive change and serve the needs of our Baltimore and Maryland communities. In addition, the department internship program helps students develop valuable professional skills and hone their interpersonal and professional communication skills. Internships provide a glimpse into how writers and editors work in the business, non-profit, and academic worlds.
