Ivory Tower

Updates

• Hello Again!

  Hey Guys!

  Ivory Tower is back and in action. Hard to believe school is already starting. I can just hear the groaning at the bookstore as giant Norton Anthologies are purchased & I only have to look around at the glazed eyes in my senior seminar to know we're all thinking the same thing "I have to write a 20 page paper about what?" Yes, its Spring Semester at the U and that means a lot of exciting new things.

  What are these exciting new things you ask? Well I'll tell you! Just like last semester Ivory Tower will be throwing plenty of events to keep you entertained. Keep an eye on our blog for any upcoming fundraising or just-for-fun events we'll be throwing.

  And probably the most exciting of all (cue drumroll) the 2010 issue of Ivory Tower is on its way to be released!!! The selections have been made, the design team has been set to work, and the printer has been warned - there's no stopping this now! We have been (and still are) working so hard on this issue and can't wait to share it with you! None of this would be possible without the brilliant literary and artistic minds we have here on campus, our issue will be great because the pieces we have are.

• Welcome Back!

  I hope you had a lovely new year. I hope you relaxed on a hammock in Key West or by a fire in Aspen under a blanket of snow. Judging by the avalanche of submissions we received just before and on January 1st, you probably deserved a break.

  I began the year by reading the saddest story I have ever heard about a rat named Firmin. In this bestseller, the rat nibbled on books and developed a taste for the classics. It made me think about the Ivory Tower and how lucky we are to sample the talent on campus and expose it. Unlike Firmin though, you have fingers for writing and words for telling stories. Poor little guy.

  Anyway, if you had the bad luck of finding the Ivory Tower kiosk empty this year or last (sorry, our issues go really fast) you can now flip through the pages of the Winter Teaser and the 2009 issue online. It's almost as good as having the real thing, except that you can't taste the pages.

  Cheers!

• Check Out Our Teaser!

  December 10th, 2009

• Deadline's Extended! Staff's Looking For More! or Hungry? Grab a Teaser?

  I'm impressed. No really, I'm impressed. With submissions flowing in I stand in awe at the talent's our campus possesses. (You all must be coming to our very helpful literary events, huh?) The staff and I are so impressed that we're ready for more more more! Originally we intended on closing submissions December 1st, but we've become so inspired by your creative works that we extended the deadline 1 month and take submissions till January 1st! (Aren't you lucky I'm-horrible-with-procrastination-writer-dude?)

  Haven't heard about the deadline extension yet? Then you haven't picked up a copy of our newly printed, hot of the press and completely brilliant (although I might be a little partial) Teaser! We searched the archives till the wee hours of the morning (slight exaggeration), battled grievously with InDesign and bravely faced snowy tundra, kiosks in hand, to deliver you this Teaser (The Completely Non-Offensive Totally Boring Edition of course). It's the best of the best that the Ivory Tower has produced in the past THRITY years and quite inspirational for the writer in you as well as perfectly distracting for the bored student. Flip through its pages to see what your works could turn into if you submit to the Ivory Tower. Located in Ivory Tower Kiosks in all the best building on campus! With its bright green and hot pink cover it's definitely not hard to miss!

  So read the Teaser, get inspired and submit! This time I REALLY mean it: times running out, if you don't submit now you'll miss you chance!
