Campus and community involvement
<p>There are plenty of ways to get involved in the UW-Whitewater community:</p>
<p><b>Produce a literary journal</b><br />Join the staff of The Muse, UW-Whitewater’s literature and arts magazine. Founded more than 40 years ago, this annual publication features poetry, short stories, essays and art.</p>
<p><b>Write for campus media</b><br />English degree students, especially those interested in a creative writing major, might be interested in creator, production or leadership roles at campus media outlets:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://royalpurplenews.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Royal Purple</a> – award-winning weekly campus print and online newspaper</li>
<li><a href="http://uwwtv.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UWW-TV </a>– campus cable television station, located in Conover Studio in Andersen Hall</li>
<li><a href="https://917theedge.weebly.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WSUW-FM: 91.7 “The Edge”</a> – campus radio station broadcasting throughout the region from a tower atop Hyer Hall</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The English Club</li>
<li>The Professional Writing Core</li>
