Join The Swift, Clark College's literary journal to help edit, produce, and publish our annual issue that features fiction, poetry, and creative fiction written by Clark students, alumni, and staff. There are several ways to get involved in the '25-'26 academic year while you gain job and/or creative writing experience:
- Enroll in 1 - 5 credits (variable, according to your own commitment level) in ENGL 277 during fall quarter to gain experience on staff, your name on The Swift masthead, and humanities credits while you help produce the annual issue.
- Check out the-swift.org or @theswiftlit on Instagram for submission guidelines, launch party, and other opportunities.
- Apply to the paid editorial positions posted in Career Services in late fall, slated to start early winter quarter.

Need to Use a Microwave?
Students need to eat. Sometimes you need a microwave. Here are some locations of microwaves throughout the main campus: Basic Needs Hub (GHL 216), Frost Arts Center, Clark Bookstore, & in the Hanna Hall Study Lounge.
