Sean Healy and Mohamed Raouda join episode 7 of LAUS Radio to talk about the Liberal Arts student magazine Agora. Sean and Mo discuss how the idea of a Liberal Arts student publication originated. They discuss how their transition to University Park (both are Commonwealth students who came to University Park from Altoona) and their desire to join a student organization with an emphasis on writing eventually led to their founding of Agora. Sean and Mo share their experiences in the creation of Agora and the publication process in general. They emphasize that their goal for Agora is to provide a venue for students to voice their opinions in a variety of areas including: current affairs, history, politics, the arts, and diversity.
Sean and Mo share how Liberal Arts students can get involved with Agora. The Agora team is currently looking for students to help in the advertising, marketing, and graphic arts departments. Student writers are also encouraged to submit their work to the magazine for possible publication. Students interested in joining Agora should attend the group’s weekly meetings, Tuesdays at 9:15 in 110 HUB and should check out the Agora Facebook group. The next issue of Agora will be available Friday, April 23, 2010.
