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.
