The 33rd
Drexel University is the only university in the country that produces an interdisciplinary, multi-genre anthology that features both student and faculty authored work. The content of The 33rd incorporates the winners of the Freshman Writing Contest, the Publishing Group Essay Contest, and the Week of Writing contest. The published pieces include student personal and research essays, fiction, poetry, non-fiction, humor, and opinion/editorial, along with works by current Drexel University faculty members. Released annually in the fall term, The 33rd is being used as a teaching tool in the freshman writing curriculum.
The student staff involved in the publication of The 33rd share responsibilities like assisting in submission management of writing contests and faculty writing, promoting and advertising for the contests, copy-editing and completing other organizational, pre-publication tasks, as well as distributing the anthology.
