Attention Bulls! 🐂🐂🐂

We are so honored to have received so many great student pieces this Fall, 2022 semester.

At this time, our editors are working hard to finish completing a final draft for the printed publication of Vol. 17 (which is free to all USF students). We promise they are coming soon!

Now that finals week is near an end, we would also like to remind students that during the fall/spring interim, we will be accepting all your work for Vol. 18 for Spring semester, 2023.

The deadline to submit will be February 1st, so make sure to mark your calendars and send us your best work so we can print another awesome magazine in 2023!

Visit the link in the bio to submit to Vol. 18. Have a safe and fun winter break, and as always, go Bulls! 🤘
