Hot off the press and ready for public scrutiny, Vancouver Island University’s Portal magazine promises to be a page-turner.
The university’s publishing class is hosting a launch party for the magazine April 5 with readings, entertainment, appetizers and door prizes.
The creative writing and journalism department will also be presenting scholarships and awards to students.
For the first time in the magazine’s 19-year history, Portal will be published in full colour, showcasing the artwork and photos including graphic design student Jordan Wende’s cover image.
This year’s launch will also celebrate the legacy of Rhonda Bailey, publishing professor, who retired after 17 years at the helm of Portal.
The launch party runs from 5:30-8:30 p.m., in the Arbutus Room of Bldg. 300 at VIU.Admission is free and the public is welcome to attend.
