A lot goes on behind the scenes to create the pretty, little AmLit Magazine that shows up on newsstands around campus each semester. There are submission packets to compile, review sessions to schedule, words to edit, graphics to make, and a whole release party to plan. It doesn't stop there either: there's a website to take care of and some pretty great events to put on, too. It all works out though, thanks to a team of passionate and creative students who give their all to this publication.
It's the contributions of everyone that make the magazine, but AmLit's Eboard is definitely where the magic happens. They're the ones the keeping AmLit running like a well-oiled machine. Get to know a few of them here:
