JOIN THE INKWELL STAFF
Official staff members (those who register for a credit) are primarily gatekeepers: editors, designers, publishers. They exist to feature and encourage the production of creative work on campus. They may occasionally produce content for the website, though this is not their primary function.
1 credit is available to staff members who commit to a full semester.
Members register for either ENGL 102 or 302 by consent of the faculty advisor. Membership by registration in either ENGL 102 or ENGL 302 will provide 1 academic credit. For their first year, staff members may register for ENGL 102. After one year of enrollment and participation in Inkwell, members may enroll for upper division credit through ENGL302
