FAQ
CAN I STILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAGAZINE IF I’M NOT A STUDENT?
Currently enrolled students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are our first priority. We are a completely student-run publication and rely on, well, students, to keep things moving.
We encourage art and creativity in every corner of our community and welcome you to reach out and engage with us, even if you’re not a student. Published works from outside of our immediate community will be considered on a case-by-case basis, dependent on the needs of current projects and status of our staff, and are not guaranteed.
Where + when do you meet?
We meet as a group once a week, every week throughout each academic semester. Meeting times change depending on the semester and room locations are displayed on Today In The Union (TITU) screens throughout the Wisconsin Union.
As of Fall 2026, we meet at 6PM every Wednesday in Memorial Union.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
We are always looking for more student writers, photographers and graphic designers! There are a number of ways to get involved with our publication and here are a few perks if (and when) you do:
— Attend concerts (for free!)
— Photograph or interview your favorite band
