• You will have the opportunity to share your writing in the four excellent publications put forth by the Department of English at Southeast: Journey, the student literary magazine; Helix, which publishes undergraduate and graduate research in all academic areas; Big Muddy, a national publication that explores issues affecting the ten-state region bordering the Mississippi River; and The Cape Rock, an internationally acclaimed poetry journal produced by the English Department.
   
• You will have many opportunities to cultivate and share your growing language skills through field experiences in area schools. This means that as a student, you could have the opportunity to teach for short periods of time in actual classrooms.
   
• Southeast English majors have excellent sources for research at Kent Library, which is a member of the MOBIUS consortium of libraries. This means that Southeast students have access to 14 million items in 57 libraries across Missouri.
   
• Southeast is home to the Center for Faulkner Studies and the Brodsky Collection, which is housed in the Rare Book Room in Kent Library. The Brodsky Collection, obtained by the University in 1989, is one of the largest collections of William Faulkner materials in the world. It contains more than 3000 letters by, to or about Faulkner and the world’s finest collection of Faulkner books.
   
• All Southeast students have access to the very friendly and helpful writing assistants at the Writing Lab. The staff at the Writing Lab can help you with all aspects of your papers, from grammar and clarity to the finer points of documentation and form. 
   
• English student organizations give you the opportunity to be involved in professional activities and to interact with other students in your field. Student organizations in the English Department sponsor book sales, writing contests and other cultural activities. 
   
• Classes in the English Department at Southeast are taught by experienced faculty members who have been educated at such prestigious institutions as Johns Hopkins and Northwestern Universities and who are authors of books of poetry and fiction as well as compositional textbooks. Our faculty members represent expertise in a wide variety of areas in literature, composition and linguistics.
