Avant Literary Magazine

Avant Magazine is Rowan University’s oldest creative outlet. Avant has weekly meetings, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. in the Victoria building, room 200, at the intersection of Mick Drive and Victoria Street. At the meetings, submissions are anonymously reviewed by the editorial staff and democratically voted on for acceptance or resubmission.

Rowan students can submit their work year-round. We accept stories up to 2,500 words in length, and poems up to a comparable size. We also accept photography and artwork.

All submissions are read anonymously to provide a no-bias atmosphere when critiquing and accepting a work. No work is ever “rejected”: instead, the author of the work is asked to resubmit. All pieces are works in progress; if a work seems ready for publication, we vote as an editorial staff and select it.

Cinema Workshop

Cinema Workshop is Rowan University's student filmmaking club, and has been for the past 42 years.

Students take skills learned in production classes and apply them to creative work either more personal or larger in scope than what is possible within the confines of a 15 week course of study. After a peer-oriented pitch and approval process, Cinema Workshop provides grants in the form of goods and services through production, culminating in a year-end screening of often award-winning films and videos.
