“And You May Ask Yourself, Well, How Did I Get Here?”: The Trident Turns 20
Description
SUNY Fredonia’s undergraduate literary magazine, The Trident, began in 2003-04 as a slim, staple-bound magazine of student writing. In its most recent issues, the magazine has bloomed to a longer print issue, with dedicated digital content on the web and on social media. Each issue is created by student editors, designers, marketers, and managing editors who balance fidelity to the past with visions for the future. Three student editors from the latest issue, will talk about how The Trident’s past affects its present, and how The Trident, and other undergraduate magazines, can continue to innovate and grow. Editors will reflect on what they’ve learned from archiving The Trident, designing a digital companion to the issue, editing content in line with an editorial vision, and promoting the issue via social media, with an introduction and overview by faculty advisor Michael Sheehan.
