Milwaukee Area Technical College Instructor and magazine Faculty Adviser Jason Kolodzyk, along with Instructor and magazine Faculty Reader Jonathan Cardew, gave a presentation concerning MATC’s The Phoenix Literary and Arts Magazine: TYCA-Midwest Conference Presentation on 10/9/15.  The presentation focused on on the following aspects:

• A brief history of MATC and its community

• An overview of The Phoenix Literary and Arts magazine and its changing role and vision at the college

• The students, staff, and institution benefits of embracing a literature and arts magazine at two-year colleges

• The barriers to successfully maintaining a magazine with limited resources in institutions

• How to work with and embrace a diverse student population, including working adults

• Innovative tactics on how to push boundaries and form partnerships inside and outside of the institution

• Looking toward the future: Finding new ways to maintain what has been built, including questions and ideas from conference audience members

Goal of the Presenters:

Our hope is to find new ways to support such magazines within MATC and also to connect with other educators with similar dreams of creating or revitalizing their own institutional literary and arts magazine.

Fahrenheit 451 is not an option; sustained rebirth is– especially with the continued communication and support of those whom see value in the Voice of our society.
