The Alvernian


The English/Communication Department is responsible for The Alvernian, the student newspaper, which is published monthly during the academic year. All students with an interest in writing, photography, and/or marketing are encouraged to contribute to the paper.

 Students may take COM 132 Journalism Workshop for one credit (Course may be repeated) or COM 432 Newspaper Production for 3 credits (course may be repeated). Other students may gain credit for community service.

The Alvernian office is located in Bernardine Hall 206. Equipment includes computers, a laser printer, and a scanner. The paper is designed using the Adobe Creative Suite program package and is printed off campus. Working on the student newspaper is an excellent opportunity to become a part of the Alvernia community, hone one's writing skills, and learn desktop publishing.
