The Deadline for submissions is February 15.
“New journal alert! Rachael Collins and Scott Lerner, lecturers in the Department of English’s Composition Program, have created LuciD, a journal that caters to undergraduate students who are the first in their families to pursue higher education and/or are first-generation Americans. With its guiding objective to act as a platform for the development of first-gen writing identities, LuciD will feature undergraduate student writing from across UCI.
UCI undergraduate students can submit up to three pieces of work (both written and visual). The journal’s inaugural spring issue aligns itself with the UCI Humanities Center’s theme, “Borders and Belonging.” This journal is funded by the Composition Program and UCI Humanities Center.
Please submit here (https://forms.gle/T6mLL99FGGjavhep9).
For more information, see our Mission Statement below or reach out to Rachael Collins (collins2@uci.edu) or Scott Lerner (slerner1@uci.edu).
Sincerely,
Rachael (Editor in Chief) & Scott (Managing Editor)
Mission Statement
LuciD is a journal of first generation student writing published on the website of the English Department’s Composition Program. LuciD provides a public literate space for first gen writers to express their identities and experiences, to take pride in where they come from, and to explore how they are transforming the culture of higher education. As such LuciD’s mission is also deeply pedagogical and closely aligned with the Composition Program’s central educational emphases: to teach our students how to consciously articulate themselves in both writing and speech, to recognize the expectations of situated communications, and to respond with clarity and courage. LuciD, therefore, expresses an interdependent relationship between the Humanities and the rest of the University, and across any of the educational and social institutions traversed by our first gen students. With its guiding objective to act as a platform for the development of first gen writing identities, Lucid will feature student writing from all of the schools at UCI, and thus invite us to think across disciplines, genres, and even writing communities. We think that featuring such writing in this way will help us use the beautiful work of our first-gen students to examine and cross genre borders but also to (re)define “belonging” in a writing community.”

The Washington Leadership Program — Now Accepting Applications for 2020
The Washington Leadership Program (WLP) is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications from high-potential South Asian American college students for the 2020 summer leadership program scheduled to take place from June 13, 2020 to August 7, 2020.
WLP cultivates the South Asian American community’s next generation of leaders by placing them in congressional offices or federal agencies in Washington, D.C. for eight-week summer internships and a structured leadership-training curriculum. The students gain a firsthand view of the policy-making and legislative process, as well as gain access to high-profile South-Asian leaders in the nation’s capital. Applications are available online at https://www.thewlp.com/the-wlp-program.
The deadline for submitting applications is January 15, 2020.
Please follow @TheWLP and www.facebook.com/TheWLP for additional information that will provide insight for the application process.
Though selection to the WLP is highly competitive, all South Asian American students who are either US citizens or legal permanent residents are encouraged to apply, regardless of academic focus or professional goals. The backgrounds of past participants have ranged from medical school to art and business.
Interns will receive a total stipend of $2,000 and will be required to complete 2-3 short writing assignments during the internship.
The WLP has over 200 alumni who have interned for notable elected officials including Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). Alumni have gone on to win Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, and Truman Scholarships, as well as acceptances into top-flight medical, law, public policy, and other post-graduate programs. Several alums are currently senior advisors to government officials, and one is an elected State Representative in Ohio.
For more information about the program, visit the WLP’s website at www.thewlp.com. Apply now!
