It's another new semester at NECC, and that means it's time for Parnassus to shift into full-on literary magazine production mode! So, hey! You! What do you have planned over the next few months? Doesn't look so far like you'll have snow shoveling as an excuse, so why not come check out joining our ranks?
It's time again for our twice-yearly call for new staff members! Joining Parnassus is a really awesome thing to do, and the commitment is very low - we meet about five times or so over the semester to go over ideas for the book, fundraising, layout and design ideas, and, of course, to dig into and choose from the many submissions we receive each semester for consideration of publishing in our fancy little book. It's also an excellent resume item! Spring semester is when we actually publish, so it's a bit more intense than the fall, but it's also a ton more fun, as we finalize everything about our righteous little book before we push it out to the ever-awaiting masses in May.
So please: if you're a creative and open-minded soul, come by for our first meeting to check it all out:
Thursday, February 2nd, 12-1 pm, C314F, Haverhill Campus
If you'd like more information, please email faculty advisor Patrick Lochelt: plochelt@necc.mass.edu. We hope to see you there!
2011 Parnassus Named as Finalist in the CSPA Crown Awards!
We're beginning to get embarassed at this point, but we're extremely proud to announce that the 2011 Parnassus has been recognized once again as a finalist in the Crown Awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association! This is an honor we receieved for the 2010 Parnassus as well, and this officially makes the 2012 Parnassus the most honored issue yet! We couldn't be happier with this news, and once again, we extend our congratulations to everyone who participated in the issue.
The awards ceremony takes place in March, so we'll have more information then about how we placed. For a full breakdown of the collegiate Crown Award finalists, visit this link for the full list.
Parnassus is in winter hibernation mode now, but we will awaken soon with a new spring deadline. Get those creative minds flowing, and we look forward to seeing what you have in the new semester!
