OK everyone, we have officially rescheduled the yesterday's meeting for

The meeting will be in the SLC (we'll send out another announcement when the room number has been assigned). This is the meeting where students involved from other magazine related organizations will be coming to speak about how you can get involved on campus. So far, we have members of the Little Red Book, Stillpoint, Georgia GuardDawg, and UGAMiracle scheduled to appear. If you haven't paid your dues yet, please bring a check or cash in the amount of $10 to the meeting. Hope to see everyone there!

Meeting RESCHEDULED

So, after much confusion with reserving a room for the meeting tonight, September 24, we have decided to reschedule. WE ARE SO SORRY for the inconvenience! The meeting is probably going to moved to Oct. 1 at 7pm instead, but stay tuned for exact time and location information. Hope to see everyone there!

1st Meeting Review

Hey everyone! We had an amazing turnout at our first meeting last Thursday!!! I think this year is going to be incredible. We've received a TON of inquiries about what went on at the meeting, so for all of those that missed it, here's what we discussed:

1. First and foremost, everyone make sure that you are subscribed to the MagClub listserv!

2. This year, because of Grady's fund reallocation, we will be charging $10 dues for the entire year. This will cover all expenses related to guest speakers, field trips, food, etc. Please make your check out to UGA Mag Club and either bring it to our next meeting or drop it off in Dr. Hume's office.

3. Our second meeting is going to be near the end of September. We're going to have a panel of students involved at other magazine related organizations on campus to come and talk to everyone about ways that they can get involved. This will be a great way to find out where your work can be published, photographs printed, editorial skills put to work, etc. Just keep checking back on the website for more detailed information about the date and time of the meeting-- we should know by the end of the week.

3. We have been discussing a field trip to a local publishing house, perhaps at Paste. The details have not yet been worked out, but we just wanted everyone to know what types of activities we have in mind for the year. In addition to this field trip, we have an internship related meeting in the works, as well. If anyone knows of UGA students that have had an internship at a magazine that would be willing to come speak, PLEASE get us the contact information for them so that they could come to the meeting. We hope that this meeting will help our members figure out exactly what they need to do to get an internship, what to expect once they have one, and everything imbetween.

4. We passed out a survey that I would love for everyone to fill out, if they have not already, so that we can get an idea as to what everyone is interested in/hoping to get out of being in MagClub. I will attach a copy on the website, so whenever you get a chance, please just fill it out and bring it to our next meeting.

That was really all we discussed, so if you didn't make it to the first meeting, DON'T WORRY! You can come out at any time to join MagClub! Hope to see everyone at the next meeting!

If you still have questions, please e-mail us at either kate928@uga.edu or klswany@uga.edu. Thanks!

Even if you aren't sure if you want to be in Magazine Club, please don't hesitate to come. This first meeting is just an information session.
