GET INVOLVED

There are many ways for us to get involved with one another and cultivate an inclusive creative community both on campus and in Boone as a whole. 

 

There is a common misconception that to be a part of The Peel you have to apply, which is not the case at all! If you simply enjoy and appreciate art, or if you are a creative yourself, our committees are completely open to you. The committees work with the content editors to curate, sort, organize, and critique student submissions for both our online and print editions of the journal. They are a great way to meet other artists, learn how to understand and critique writing and artwork, and an opportunity to grow within a creative role. 

 

At the end of every academic year, we open up our Editorial Board applications. If you’re interested in being a part of our creative team, look out for those applications at the end of year. Sometimes we have positions open throughout the semester or at the end of Fall semester, so if you’re interested in joining, it’s important to keep up with our Instagram for all of our announcements.
