Ask Issue 2015

Ask Magazine Cover 2015

Issue Features

TWENTY-FIVE FACES/25 YEARS: IN THE YEAR 1990, Madonna’s “Vogue” topped the Billboard charts, the Internet was still in its infancy, and then-Drexel President Richard Breslin announced that the College of Sciences and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences would merge, creating the home we now know today as the College of Arts and Sciences. Though the College may be young, many of our programs date back to Drexel’s beginnings. In honor of our 25th anniversary, we shared the stories of 25 unique members of our community — a mix of students, alumni, faculty and staff from across the decades who have made these years so memorable.

The Painted Bride Quarterly

Painted Bride Quarterly Logo

Established in 1973, The Painted Bride Quarterly is a community-based, independent, non-profit literary magazine published quarterly online and annually in print, PBQ‘s main agenda is to maintain and grow a venue for the highest quality literature that best represents the individual voice. PBQ publishes emerging and established regional authors in the context of their peers from across the country and around the world. PBQ works to continually surprise its readers. The combination of PBQ‘s dual-city editorial tables and the ever-changing student staff make its voice unique. Housed at Drexel University, PBQ offers student staffers the opportunity to view submissions analytically and actively contribute to the magazine with their personal opinions and ideas. Throughout the year, staffers are also exposed to professional-level experiences ranging from press releases and event planning to copy editing and book design. Additionally, PBQ‘s ever-expanding website creates opportunities for students whose interests and skill sets lean toward video, audio, and graphic art.

Student Publications

Maya Online

Maya Literary Magazine of Drexel University

For over 40 years, Maya has been Drexel University’s student-run, undergraduate literary magazine, publishing student poetry, prose, short fiction and non-fiction pieces, as well as graphics, illustrations, photography and other art. Maya provides the student body the opportunity to get their work published, and additionally, by having a student staff, we offer those interested in writing, publishing, public relations, and design the chance to gain valuable hands-on experience. By being both within and yet not run by the university, Maya creates an atmosphere of artistic freedom that allows individual creativity to thrive. Maya holds an annual release party for each issue produced in late spring, as well as various events and open mics throughout the year to promote the publication. Maya holds an annual Fall Writing contest where undergraduate writers can submit their work in the following categories: Nonfiction, Fiction, and Poetry. In addition to the Fall Writing contest, Maya accepts submissions all year. Maya‘s editorial staff is comprised of Drexel undergraduates from various majors and educational backgrounds. Staff members are responsible for collecting submissions, attending editorial meetings, fundraising, organizing events, designing and promoting each annual issue, and day-to-day operations of the magazine. Maya is a recognized Drexel student organization; its academic advisor is Kathleen Volk Miller.
