IVCC's River Currents Journal Resumes Online: Local Student Talent Showcased

IVCC's River Currents, a student-curated literary and art journal, has resumed online after a break due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The journal features stories, poetry, art, and music compositions. The last issue was published in 2019, but submissions decreased in 2021 and 2022 due to the shift to online learning, causing a pause in publication.

A special issue released this month includes submissions from the pandemic years. River Currents Adviser Tracy Lee stated that submissions increased in 2023, providing ample content for the 2024 issue. Lee highlighted the journal's role as a platform for student expression and a showcase of IVCC talent.

Lee mentioned that recent submissions did not focus on the pandemic. She expressed enthusiasm for the journal's return and the chance it offers students to share their work. The journal, like the college, has a century-long history, with students encouraged to submit their work for each spring issue.

Lee noted that the move to online content benefits students by allowing easy access and portfolio inclusion. She also mentioned the potential for future printed special issues. Graduates who submitted work during the pandemic years were told their work would be included in the special issue.

A launch party to celebrate the relaunch will take place on Monday, April 29, from noon-1:30 p.m. in C-316, with lunch and refreshments provided. For more information on River Currents, visit www.ivcc.edu/rc.
