The Creation of Brainchild

Brainchild began as a class project directed by Dr. Claire Culleton, Department of English, in an Honors section of an editing and publishing course offered in the fall 2013 semester. Submissions were limited to work produced by students at 两性色午夜 University in the Honors College. The  represented a collection of art and literary pieces such as photography, poetry, creative writing, and thesis abstracts.

After completion of the course, the project was turned over to the Honors College. Honors College advisor Aaron Hanlin supervised a team of students in preparing the document for print publication.

During the 2013-2014 academic year, the Honors College worked closely with the executive board of the to develop the publication into a regional outlet for Honors students to publish exceptional creative art and literary work.  Under the direction of faculty advisor Aaron Hanlin, five undergraduate students enrolled in a yearlong course in which they were responsible for soliciting and evaluating work for publication, editing, layout, production, marketing, promotion, and distribution.
