Welcome to freshmen and welcome back to upperclassmen! We hope you’ve been writing and creating a lot over the summer and are ready to submit for the Fall issue. If not, no worries. There’s still plenty of time before the November 1st deadline!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our open mic night this past Thursday! Though the crowd was small, the talent was extraordinary. Pictures coming soon.   Don’t forget to submit; our spring deadline is coming up!

Due to a scheduling conflict, this Thursday’s open mic is cancelled. Make sure to come to the one in March!

Don’t forget to submit your poetry, prose, photography and other artwork before the deadline!

Guess what came into the Office of Student Media this morning… That’s right — the magazines from Fall 2013 are finally in! We’re excited to release our new mag out to the masses and share what Mason talent has to offer so come by the Office of Student Media (OSM) in the HUB/SUB II and pick up a copy! Congratulations to all contributors for making it into the mag!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Open Mic Night last Thursday! It was a lot of fun listening to so many great performances from musical acts, poetry, prose, spoken word and, of course, raps from our very own 2White4Life. Pictures will be posted up soon.   Please remember that our submission deadline — NOVEMBER 1ST — is quickly approaching! If you happened to perform last Thursday, we definitely encourage you to submit your stuff. Send in all your prose, poetry, art, photography, and even spoken word! Yes, you can now submit your all spoken/performed acts as an MP3 and we’ll post it up on our website. #SoExcited. Check…

Our next Open Mic Night, this Thursday! All performing acts are welcome from musical acts, prose, poetry, and even raps! Held at the Corner Pocket in the HUB (formerly SUB II). Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/276093522515828/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular

Hi everyone, Volition’s Spring 2013 deadline is March 18, 2013 Spring 2013 Theme Prompt:  Take one of your experiences that you have rarely talked about and use it as inspiration for your poetry, prose, art, and photography. Be creative! You can choose to express this through focusing on an emotion, or single moment of that experience, it does not have to be an exact account of what happened. When submitting your work to Volition, please be sure to say that your work is in response to the theme. -The Volition Editors
