Somehow seeing your creative work on-line vs in print, just doesn't have the same power and excitement.

New Growth Arts Review is something that is uniquely IUP. Gotta keep it going. In print.

The New Growth Arts Review is one of the few ways that creative writing students at IUP can publish their work along with their peers. It's a wonderful way to not only showcase student talent but also to introduce us into the world of publishing.

Wait, doesn't IUP have like three fitness centers now, but it can't afford to help publish a beautiful magazine that showcases student work? Priorities!

NGAR serves the entire IUP community, is widely distributed, and provides opportunities to seek publication for writers/artists and to learn about publishing through the practical experience of getting a magazine together. The publishing scene is changing, but there remains a significant place for print alongside electronic editions. NGAR should give experiences of both. Within the literary / creative world, there are many reasons that print continues to be a necessary medium. For a college arts magazine, one of these is the tangible longevity of the format. There are NGARs in the library going back decades, constituting part of the history of IUP. The same cannot be said of websites and blogs!

The English department need to maintain its print magazine. IUP has a responsibility to provide its paying students with opportunities and a chance to succeed after graduation. NGAR is the only thing providing this at the moment.

As NGAR staff 86-90, Editor, 1990, this is a blow, and a sad day for IUP--not just because we would miss the magazine but because of what it says about the university and the community.

As an alumna, I am appalled that IUP would refuse to fund something that assists in the education and betterment of its students. The internet is not a place for writers and artists. Print publishing is necessary, regardless of the ability to present works online.

If we expect students to become professionals, we should treat students like professionals. Students who publish in NGAR should be able to see their work in printed form, just like professionals can.

The NGAR is a wonderful way to express creativity and help those who are going into writing/publication to get some experience first hand before getting a job.

This is a wonderful publication that gives students not only a chance to showcase skills, but also build confidence and experience, which is vital for young artists/writers.

If their concern is visibility, surely relegating The New Growth to a link in the basement of the IUP website would allow for far less than a properly distributed print journal.
