Winter Break, 2010
Winter Break News
Winter has fallen upon New England, and Parnassus has gone into temporary hibernation. Our fall submissions process went well; we've contacted all of those who were accepted. Despite the great submissions in the fall, we will definitely be in need of many more submissions in the spring to make the 2010 edition the best it can be. Keep an eye around campus and here online for information on our upcoming spring submission drive.
The last batch of the multi-award winning 2009 edition will be put out in the C building at the start of the spring semester on the week of January 25th. If you haven't gotten one yet, grab one as soon as you can, because they move quickly, and once they're gone, they're gone!
Good luck to you all for a great spring semester, and we look forward to your submissions in March!

End of Summer, beginning of Fall, 2009
Parnassus end of summer news wrap-up
With summer coming to a fast close, and the new school year around the corner, it's time to put the Parnassus wheels in gear for another new issue.
Our 2009 issue has so far been a huge success, flying off of the stands and garnering many rave reviews. We have entered the '09 issue in a number of national literary magazine competitions, including the CCHA awards, in which we won second place in the East, and the ASPA awards, in which we won best gallery and first place with merit, both last year, among several others. As soon as any positive returns come in (hopefully), we'll report the news here.
A new semester means a call for a new Parnassus staff! We'll be holding our first meeting at the end of the second week of school, on Friday, September 18th from 12-1pm in room C314F. Parnassus is technically a club, and joining our staff is a lot of fun and not a big commitment. We meet about three to five times a semester, and staff members get to choose the art and writing that will be printed, as well as helping with fundraising and marketing of all things Parnassus throughout the semester. It's an experience worth taking part in! If you have any questions, feel free to contact Faculty Advisor Patrick Lochelt: plochelt@necc.mass.edu
More copies of our amazing 2009 issue will be put out at the start of the fall semester - be sure to check out our green stand in the C building lobby (see photo) and get a copy for yourself before they're all gone! See you around campus soon.

The 2009 Parnassus is released!
The 2009 edition of Parnassus will be available at the NECC Haverhill campus by the end of the week of May 4th. We are incredibly excited about this edition, as it is without a doubt the most impressive issue yet. The work we received from NECC's creative community was outstanding, and we had a very difficult time narrowing down the chosen works, but the pieces that made it in are incredibly well done, and we're happy to share them with all of NECC and beyond. Keep an eye out for the new issue, which we think will impress even the most jaded of literature fiends and art impresarios, not to mention the nomadic hallway wanderers who happen by our little book every year. Let us know what you think!
The 2009 Parnassus release party and open mic is a huge success!
We held our annual release party and open mic reading this past Monday, May 4th in the NECC Tech Center, and the turnout and support was overwhelming! A huge crowd came out to celebrate the release of the 2009 Parnassus and to come and share their work with the crowd. A great assortment of authors came to read their poetry and short fiction works, including our featured faculty guest author, Hannah Larrabee. Many thanks to all who came to read and all who came to listen and support Parnassus!
Parnassus is now on Facebook - sign up for updates!
