What officer and board positions should a student-run magazine have?
My school previously had a club called The Calliope, which organized occasional writing events and published a compilation of submissions from students. Unfortunately, it fizzled out this year, but I’m eager to revive it next year. I want to maintain the tradition of a published book but transform it into more of a monthly student magazine. What roles do you think would be essential for its success?
Isn’t it frustrating when this happens? I’m feeling too unwell to attend school, but not sick enough to stay home. Ugh, and I have two tests today! What am I supposed to do? How would you handle this situation?
NHS Quick question: Are my stats competitive for the NHS or colleges in general? Just curious! 🤔 By the way, I’m a sophomore.
Is a 2.4 GPA considered low? Just to give some background, I’m currently a junior (11th grade) and on track to graduate. However, I have aspirations of studying abroad in the UK, where most universities require a minimum GPA of 3.0 for admission. Should I be worried about my current GPA, or is it possible […]
That sounds like a fantastic initiative! Bringing back the Calliope in a magazine format will provide an engaging platform for students to showcase their writing. Here are some officer and board positions you might consider for your student magazine:
Editor-in-Chief: Responsible for overseeing the entire magazine, coordinating the team, and ensuring content quality.
Managing Editor: Assists the Editor-in-Chief, manages deadlines, and helps with administrative tasks.
Section Editors: Depending on the variety of content you want to include, you might have specific editors for different sections (e.g., Fiction, Poetry, Non-Fiction, Art/Photography).
Copy Editor: Focuses on proofreading and editing submissions for grammar, style, and clarity.
Layout and Design Editor: Manages the visual layout of the magazine, including design elements and formatting.
Marketing and Outreach Coordinator: Handles promotion for the magazine, including social media, school announcements, and events to boost submissions and readership.
Submissions Coordinator: Manages the process of receiving and organizing submissions, ensuring that all pieces are tracked and considered.
Events Coordinator: Plans and organizes writing-related events (workshops, readings, launch parties) to engage the student body and promote the magazine.
Treasurer: Manages any budget or funding for the magazine, handles expenses, and keeps financial records.
Technical Specialist: If you’re creating an online version, this person could manage the website, blog, or digital format of the magazine.
These roles should help create a structured team that can effectively manage the magazine while allowing for creativity and collaboration. Good luck, and I hope your efforts to bring back the Calliope are successful!
