With the purpose of fostering an appreciation of poetry and the arts on a STEM dominated campus, the Poetry Club was recently approved as an RSO by the Subcommittee Head Council of the SGA. The new RSO will hold poetry themed events and provide an outlet for Steven’s students to write and share their poetry.
Poetry Club plans on holding Poetry Nights throughout every semester in order for students to share their poetry. Poetry written by students will be collected into zines (compilations of poetry of all sorts) for all to see and read. In order to ensure that Poetry Nights are as an enriching of an experience as possible, the Poetry Club has two unique officer positions on its eboard who’s primary responsibilities involve planning and executing Poetry Nights and the organizing of zines. The first is an Editor, who’s role is to select work for and prepare the layout of zines. The second is a Crafting Chair, whose role is to create decor for Poetry Nights as needed.
The newly formed Poetry Club is a member of the Arts and Music Subcommittee of the SGA, which strives to add to the culture of campus by providing opportunities for Steven’s student to explore and participate in the arts. The club wishes for students to have an outlet to write and appreciate poetry, even those without prior experience. Students interested in participating in club activities next semester and onward are encouraged to contact Poetry Club President Kelly McGowan at kmcgowa1@stevens.edu.
