The Colorado State University-Student Affairs in Higher Education (SAHE) Journal of Student Affairs is a graduate-student published scholarly journal where graduate students and new student affairs professionals can contribute articles focusing on current educational issues and interests in the field of student affairs. This year marks the 21st annual publication of the Journal of Student Affairs. The Journal of Student Affairs Editorial Board is seeking graphic design submissions for the cover of the published version.
The Student Affairs in Higher Education (SAHE) program supports growth and development opportunities for individuals within higher education. This is an amazing opportunity for graphic design students to create a unique item and add a diverse element to their portfolio. If selected, the design would serve as the first item to represent the 21st annual publication of the Journal of Student Affairs, which is distributed nationally and internationally.
The selected cover design artist will be awarded a $75 gift card to the CSU Bookstore. The artist will also be recognized at the Journal of Student Affairs formal reception and celebration in the spring of 2012.
