    Advisors: Brian Barker and Jeffrey Osborne

    The English Student Organization coordinates a variety of extra-curricular student activities in English. Participation is voluntary, and officers are chosen by participating students. ESO regularly sponsors poetry and fiction readings, organizes student / faculty mixers, and holds annual or bi-annual book sales. Based upon student interest, ESO coordinates writing groups, reading groups, and trips to attend workshops, conferences, performances, or appearances by contemporary writers. ESO also sponsors one scholarship per year for a deserving English major.

    Advisor: Brian Barker

    Notations, Murray State University's annual student-run literary magazine, publishes poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and artwork. All work is produced, selected, and published by MSU students. The year-long process of putting the magazine together begins each fall semester when interested students attend organizational meetings to form reading juries and select editors. Submissions are due at the end of the fall semester, and selections are made in the early spring. The magazine appears near the end of the academic year, followed by a campus reading given by contributors. The magazine is free to all MSU students and other interested readers. For more information, contact one of the faculty advisors.
