Aims & Scope
Goals
When we created Writing Waves, we wanted it to be different than the normal academic journal. Here are some of our goals:
- Create a culture of first-year writing at CSUMB
- Maintain the authenticity of authors voices in their writing by only minimally editing pieces
- Provide an opportunity to make publishing more accessible to students
- Celebrate the writing and writers of CSUMB's first-year composition classes
- Serve as a reference for students as they progress in their academic writing careers
- Introduce a publishing and editing practicum to upper-division students
- Building mentoring relationships between authors and editors
- Have this journal serve as not only a journal, but as a textbook for college classes
- Showcase student-driven research
