The Terrier Journal (Web Resource)
Title: The Terrier Journal
Author: Caroline Hagood
Author: Anna Riddo
Abstract: The purpose of the Arts magazine is for students to be able to share their voice and express their creativity. This is important for students because when dealing with creative arts they don’t feel heard. There are so many people who want to share their work, but they have no place where they can express themselves. Arts majors are usually told that they will not make it or that their dream is not achievable. Since Saint Francis College is the small college for big dreams people should be encouraged to do what they are passionate about. They should know that at the college their voice matters, their dreams matter and their creativity deserves a space to be showcased. The student editor-in-chief is Anna Riddo, supervised by Dr. Caroline Hagood, Assistant Professor of Literature, Writing and Publishing and Director of Undergraduate Writing.

Globalizing Locally Through Community Service (Web Resource)
Title: Globalizing Locally Through Community Service
Author: Brian Gregory
Abstract: Globalization "takes place deep inside the 'regional', 'national', and 'local' domains... Global Studies scholars refer to this complex interplay between the global and the local/national as globalization. In short, globalization is really glocalization" (Manfred Steger, Globalization: A Very Short Introduction, 5th edition, 3). Through a Global Communication’s class, students learned about many dimensions of globalization. Students were then inspired to take on volunteering projects where they established connections with several communities across New York City. From astounding stories to impressive achievements, students learned how globalization is apparent on the local level. These are their stories.

Echoes of Clayoquot Sound Through Poetry Memory, Culture & Communication (Web Resource)
Title: Echoes of Clayoquot Sound Through Poetry Memory, Culture & Communication
Author: Martina Karels
Abstract: "Echoes of Clayoquot Sound Through Poetry" is a collection of I-poems created by SFC students in the honors course ‘Collective Memory, Culture & Communication’. In this course we explored how groups and societies remember the past -- socially, politically and creatively -- to preserve history, shape identity, promote social cohesion, and guide actions and decisions. This poetry collection draws on oral history interviews found in the digital archive ‘Clayoquot Lives: An Ecofeminist Story Web’. The archive gives insight into the experiences of various activists involved in the 1993 anti-logging Peace Camp at Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through their stories we explored the intersection of memory, activism, politics and poetry. By engaging with the data and creating I-poems, we were able to deepen our understanding of how stories and poetry can be used in the transmission of collective memory.
