Calling All Student Writers!

The American River Review (your student-driven art and literary magazine) is excited to announce that we are now accepting submissions for poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction for potential publication in our 2022 or 2023 American River Review. For the 35th edition, we thought of inviting the larger campus community to submit their work.

We would love to include alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and administration to submit a short bio along with their poem, short fiction, or creative nonfiction piece. We want you to submit that poem you’ve been sitting on for 4 years. We’d love to provide you with positive and editorial feedback to make your piece stand out. Whether your submission is a single piece or a collection of work, we welcome it all. 
 
We love Google Docs at the American River Review, so send us your best work to AmericanRiverReview@gmail.com.

Topics that will be discussed include building sisterhood, microaggressions, dating, sex, body image, mental health, and empowerment.
 
The group meets virtually every Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, starting September 28 through November 23. The sessions are free and facilitated by Chioko Grevious. Contact Chioko at chiokogrevious@therosettacenter.com to sign up or get more information.
16th Annual Fall Ethics Symposium
Ethics and the City
 
All are invited to join the conversation on ethics and the city at this year’s fall symposium, which will be held virtually from Wednesday, September 29 through Wednesday, October 13, sponsored by Cosumnes River College and the Sacramento State Center for Practical and Professional Ethics.
 
Cities are underrated engines of well-being. But in many ways their performance is handicapped by policy affected by ignorance, inertia, racism, and other forms of inequity. Can the creative and cooperative forces driving cities be made to outpace the effects of such policies? What sort of policies effectively rectify the handicapping forces and encourage the creative forces? Speakers will take up these and related questions from different disciplinary and ideological perspectives.
 
For a detailed schedule and registration links visit the Ethics Center website.
