Student Involvement

Davidson offers students multiple opportunities to write and edit for student publications, to win department awards, and to enter scholarly writing competitions.

Publications

English majors traditionally have found Libertas, Hobart Park, and Exit 30 to be good outlets for creative expression, though there are years when these journals are not edited by English majors or have English faculty as advisers. 

Freeword Poetry Group

The purpose of Freeword Poetry Group is to provide a venue for spoken word poetry. Each semester, Freeword presents a show and donates the proceeds to charity.

Exit 30 Literary Magazine

Exit 30 seeks to provide Davidson students (from all majors) with the opportunity to be published in a literary magazine that offers a higher quality of work in a smaller volume, so as to be more easily accessible to our busy student populace, and so that it may be appreciated for all of its merits and inspire insightful discussion.

Hobart Park

Hobart Park is the college's annual literary review. It features works of poetry, fiction and nonfiction, as well as visual art, by students, alumni, faculty members, and visiting writers.

Libertas

Published biweekly, the student-produced arts and literary magazine accepts submissions in creative nonfiction, short stories, poetry, and art.

The Davidsonian

The college's weekly newspaper is written, edited and managed by students. It features campus news and opinions.
