Pseudonym

Mission Statement

Pseudonym was created out of a desire to encourage student involvement in the literary arts circles of St. Ben's/St. John's and the surrounding community. In accordance with the Benedictine tradition of CSB/SJU, Pseudonym hopes to build a community of students interested in writing and thereby to provide support and encouragement to academic endeavors in literature.

What Pseudonym Does

  • Provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of student work in creative and non-fictional writing.
  • Facilitates programs designed to bring professional authors and students together.
  • Plans events and excursions for students to experience the presentation of literature in the St. Cloud and Minneapolis area.
  • Organizes the annual Poetry Slam event, which brings professional poets to St. Ben's/St. John's to perform alongside local, amateur poets from the college.

Past Literary Events


The Poetry Slam was amazing!  Thanks to all of the student poet-performers and audience.  We hope you had as much fun as we did.  Look for the 6th annual Slam! next year.
