“Echoes and Visions,” the creative arts journal of Wor-Wic Community College, has been recognized by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) with a “superior” ranking in its Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines (REALM) contest.
“This national award is a tribute to the incredible talents of WorWic’s students, faculty and staff,” said Charles Porter, arts and humanities department head and associate professor of transitional English. “It recognizes the hard work of our new faculty advisor team — Juley Harper, associate professor of English, and Dr. Lawrence Blasco, assistant professor of English — and our student editors: Brodie Dehart, Robert Senesi, Scott Timko and Kris Watson. Our campus community is home to exceptional writers and artists, and their stories, poetry, photography and artwork came together to create an outstanding 36th issue of Echoes & Visions, which is truly deserving of this recognition.”
This year, schools in 44 states, Washington, D.C., and six countries nominated 456 student magazines. Magazines from middle school, high school and higher education were welcomed for the 2025 contest. The REALM program publicly recognizes excellent literary magazines produced by students with the support of their teachers. REALM is designed to encourage all schools to develop literary magazines that celebrate the art and craft of writing.
