The ������������ Library will host a launch party for the 2025 edition of ������������’s literary journal “Prairie Ink” from 6-7:30 p.m. April 24 in the Cavanaugh Room in the ������������ Library.

The 2025 Prairie Ink publication is edited by two students, Elena Lara Sandoval and Elizabeth Leighty, and the English Department. The launch party will feature light refreshments, readings from contributors, and enlightened conversation.

English Instructor and “Prairie Ink” Editor Justin Brown welcomes all to join in this celebration of writing and creativity.

“Stories have been passed on from generation to generation both orally and in the written form,” he said. “The art defines humanity. Stories speak to us because they offer a glimpse of another’s inner world that we can relate to spiritually simply because we are also human. Lasting stories stick with us because of the emotional connections we make, forever connecting our minds with the authors’ creations.”
