Issue date: 10/30/06 Section: Features
"One World Magazine," the in-the-works student publication that will make its way into our hands by January 2007, promises a fresh perspective on political and social issues that plague the world today.
The magazine is still in the process of receiving adequate funding in order to get published and distributed to the student population at UIC free of charge and in full color.
Not just a read for the light-hearted self-help seeker or fashionista, "One World" offers in-depth exposure of real-world ongoing experiences, problems and activism around the globe.
The magazine's creators and contributors hope to raise awareness regarding those political and social issues they see to be the most urgent and those that need to be addressed.
Utilizing a variety of mediums within the magazine, including but not limited to articles, photo essays and other creative works, "One World" truly captures the voice and imagination of the active student population.
Anticipated themes and areas of exploration include genocide and global warming.
"One of our goals is to educate students about topics that they don't know much about," said Sana Jafri, a member of "One World."
A sneak peek into some of the features of "One World" will give you a myriad of personal expressions, including a very personal account of a student's travels in India, and an informative discussion of the current state of Amazon rainforest destruction in South America.
While "One World's" current layout and content has already been selected for the first issue, editors Rohan Shah and Ruchi Shah will welcome student contributions beginning in the spring semester.
If interested, students should contact one of the editors. Meetings are generally held in the Honors College. There are a few requirements that need to be met in order to become active with "One World:" students undergo a submissions process, which runs their ideas or projects through a trial before it can be selected to appear in the magazine. Students' work must also be relevant to the goals and themes of "One World" as a whole.
"One World Magazine" has the potential to spark the interest of students in a truly diverse population who wish to become more informed and more active citizens in a world full of indifference.
