Celebrating the 30th birthday of Etchings Literary and Fine Arts Magazine, students in ENGL 379 produced two magazines (including a retrospective, double issue in April), which highlight new and past talent. Student editors reached out to over 400 alumni and were pleased to print Issue 30.2, which included many updated biographies of the writers, artists, and staff who’ve made Etchings an exceptional publication and community. In April, students, alumni, faculty and staff enjoyed the UIndy Day Celebration launch party. A digital archive of the magazine will be hosted by Krannert Memorial Library Fall 2018.
