Staff FAQ
Q: I'm not an artist, and I'm not artistic. What can I contribute to staff?
Anyone with an appreciation and a critical eye for creative work is welcome!
Q: I'm a [insert any major here] major. What can I contribute to staff?
Anyone from any major is welcome on staff!
Q: What does a general staff member on submissions team do?
In the fall semester, staff meets once every two weeks to review submissions. Before each meeting, staff members will review submissions on the Google Drive and come prepared to discuss and evaluate each piece. Staff members are also encouraged to anonymously submit their own work. In meetings, staff members sit around a table, eat snacks, read/view submissions, and discuss each piece and its potential contribution to The Streetcar. With COVID-19 concerns, this operating procedure will change slightly to ensure safety.
Q: I wasn't offered a position on staff. Can I still be involved?
Yes! You can submit your own work to The Streetcar. You can also follow us on our social media, come to our events, and stay aware of artistic opportunities on campus. By engaging with The Streetcar in any way, by reading the magazine or simply talking about art with your friends, you're creating a community that welcomes and enjoys artistic expression!
Q: I’d like to join staff but I’m a little worried about COVID-19…
So are we. Guidelines and safe practices are changing daily, but we at The Streetcar are committed to acting in an abundance of caution and understanding. We will be evaluating operating procedures constantly and making safe, flexible accommodations to anyone without question or reason.
