Angelingo

AngeLingo, entirely written and created by USC College undergraduates, is an online, multidisciplinary journal.  AngeLingo publishes daily and attracts an international readership numbering in the thousands.

AngeLingo is the first, and thus far only, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary undergraduate journal in the United States.  Founded in 2002, AngeLingo has published hundreds of articles, illustrations, blog posts, songs, movies, photographs, poems, stories and 2D art.  Its focus scales from the global to the personal:  one can read about the education of girls in India, for example, or plumb the soul of an honors-student-turned-cocaine dealer.  Vital and eclectic, AngeLingo holds up mirror up to Los Angeles, and looks at the rest of the world through a distinctly L.A. prism.

The AngeLingo team consists of writers, editors, a graphics designer and a web designer.  It publishes a blog daily during the school year, and at least one new issue a semester.  Many of the essays it publishes were generated in WRIT 340, the Advanced Writing class that satisfies the second half of the USC general education writing requirement.  AngeLingo welcome submissions at all times.

Undergraduate Writers' Conference

The Undergraduate Writers' Conference [UWC] is the culmination of an annual competition in student writing across genres.  This years categories include:  Analytical Essay, Researched Essay, Professional Writing/Moral Reasoning, and Creative Works.

In the mode of a traditional academic conference, undergraduates submit and present their work on faculty-moderated panels.  The UWC is designed for students to share their work with peers outside the classroom, and to compete for cash prizes.
