Mission Statement
The mission of Mountain Laurels is to
publish student creative work, including literature and fine art.
The magazine is a recognized student organization, published by
NGCSU students, for NGCSU students. It is the only campus
publication that showcases visual and written student art.
Honors Day
Intended as a way to honor our students, the
magazine release date coincides with Honors Day each April. In
addition, we honor individual students for “Best in Fine Art,” “Best
in Poetry,” and “Best in Prose” at the Honors Day Awards Banquet."
Sponsoring Mountain Laurels
Mountain Laurels is dependent on the
generosity of individuals from the campus and community. Now more
than ever, with budget cuts and reduced funding for the arts, we
rely on loyal supporters like you to help us continue to publish. In
addition, we are looking for opportunities to collaborate
fundraising events, and would welcome suggestions.
If you would like to contribute to the
mission of Mountain Laurels, please contact the Mountain Laurels
faculty, Dr. Amy A. Childers (achilders@ngcsu.edu)
or Dr. Pamela Sachant (psachant@ngcsu.edu).
