Student films, audio and video art, dance, comics, longer written work, unthemed work, and more will now have a home on our website. We hope to encourage a wider variety of art submissions and to truly cement the Nomad<\/em>‘s place as the undergraduate literary and art publication for all student artists.<\/p>\n

Since 1963, the Nomad has sought to give students a place to share their artistic voice and tell their stories. Through nearly a hundred issues, the Nomad has been the first step for many university students into the world of publication. The history of the organization goes back even further than that, with editions under the name “Catastrophe” going back into the \u201850s.<\/span><\/h2>\n
