What is AngeLingo?
AngeLingo is an entirely student-created and run journal out of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. We hold a mirror up to Los Angeles, and look at the rest of the world through a distinctly L.A. prism. AngeLingo reflects the diversity of intellectual culture here at USC Hence, the journal covers a wide variety of subjects and perspectives. To paraphrase Matthew Arnold, it represents the best that has been thought and said in our classes here at USC.
The five AngeLingo editors are USC undergraduates in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Most of the articles were generated in Writing 340, a general education class that satisfies the second half of the USC undergraduate writing requirement.
Who are the editors?
Our canny and clever section editors are: Doreen Anthony, Vera Chelyapov, Rema Christy (who was also the Managing Editor for this issue), Lindsay Meyer, and David Radcliff. Our web and graphic design team is Pamela Fox and Lauren Schenkman. Norah Ashe-McNalley and Kathi Inman Berens, both senior lecturers who teach WRIT 340, are faculty co-advisors.Who are the contributors?
During the spring of 2003, Kathi Inman Berens and Norah Ashe-McNalley proposed an online journal to accomplish two goals: 1) showcase the tremendous quality of writing produced by students who don't necessarily consider themselves writers; 2) extend intellectual conversation beyond the classroom. Thanks to an Innovative Teaching Award grant from USC's Center for Excellence in Teaching, AngeLingo was born.
We'd like to thank Dean Sarah Pratt and the College of Letters, Arts, & Sciences for their generous funding of the second volume of AngeLingo. Their support has allowed this publication to grow and flourish. Our thanks also to John Holland, Director of the College Writing Program, and Associate Director Steve Byars for the hard work and support, both departmental and personal, that they have given to the project. They have helped us to realize our goal of making the journal an ongoing voice. In addition, we'd like to recognize Danielle Mihram and the Center for Excellence in Teaching. The premier issue was funded by an Innovative Teaching grant from CET. We'd like to thank Steve Bucher, Director of the Engineering Writing Program and David Woollard, Steve's able assistant, for their unstinting help in getting AngeLingo off the ground. Illumin, the journal of engineering in everyday life, lit the way for AngeLingo. Han Tran in the College Computing Center kindly provided us with server space to house the journal. We thank, too, our colleagues Steve Posner and Yolanda Kirk in the Marshall School of Business. Under their stewardship, the Center for Management Communication launched its own journal, Insight Business. Finally, we applaud our LAS WRIT 340 colleagues, who coach outstanding writing from their students. Without them, this journal wouldn't be possible.
