Year One
Year One
Year One is The College of Wooster's first-year literary magazine, featuring a collection of the best original poetry, prose, essays, photography, and artwork submitted exclusively by first-year students.
The Chief Editor of Year One is the Writing Center Intern, who assembles a staff to compile and edit the works each year. Each volume of Year One serves as an exciting showcase that enables us to look ahead to the many more wonderful works that these students will produce throughout their careers at Wooster, and indeed, throughout their lifetimes.
