Student Publications

"I love the creative pieces that are submitted every year and look forward to working with the writers on edits and helping the layout team ... curate all the works in our final magazine. I’ve learned to value each and every submission ... and to look for potential in every line of prose or poetry. ... I want to foster a creative outlet for all students at Visi."

"One of the best ways to grow as a writer is through editing as it allows you to learn new, unique techniques that you can apply to your own writing. Pairing art and photography with poetry and prose to better highlight the writers’ and artists’ voices are the things I love most about the Georgetowner."

"The Wicket has always been my favorite part of Visitation. I’m immensely proud of the work each and every writer has put in and the journalistic experience it's given me. I knew I wanted to join my high school’s newspaper when I watched The Post. From that moment on, newspaper writers were more than just bylines, they were fearless superheroes, bravely staring down injustices even in the face of great opposition. To me, journalistic writing is essential for the preservation of justice, democracy, and morality. Every student publication deserves credit for the amount of work it takes. I’ve spent countless weekends behind the computer changing font sizes and adjusting image layouts, and I know magazine and literary publication writers do the same. It’s incredibly meticulous and time-consuming work, but there’s no greater joy than seeing the fruits of your labor in print."

"Being the editor-in-chief of the Green Gate has been an amazing experience for me. Having the opportunity to lead the Green Gate staff to create a book that will be a part of Visitation's history forever is such an amazing feeling. The yearbook is something that years from now future students will be able to look back on and see how much Visitation has changed but also how many traditions have been kept the same. While it is not always easy, having the opportunity to be the editor-in-chief is something I will always be grateful for!"
