Tuesday Magazine: the Official Media Partner of Harvard-Radcliffe MIHNUET
http://www.tuesdaymazagine.org
Founded in 2003, Tuesday Magazine is one of the most innovative, imaginative, and inclusive student publications at Harvard. Tuesday Magazine presents a diverse cross-section of Harvard's intellectual life, amplifying student voices by publishing their literature, essays, ideas, and artwork. All types of intellectual discourse—political, economic, social, literary, artistic—are considered for publication. Tuesday Magazine believes its mission extends far beyond the printed page and into the lives and communities of students at Harvard. It is dedicated to supporting and forwarding the "creative lifestyle," by partnering with passionate and creative student arts groups. Tuesday firmly believes in the endless possibilities offered by increased communication and cooperation between student arts groups and in the goal of recapturing what everyday at Harvard should be: an adventure into and celebration of the human imagination. As the proud media sponsor of MIHNUET, we not only want to showcase their music but also their community service efforts. As a strong advocate of the arts, we want to reach out to the community by highlighting to students how seamlessly music and the arts can be intertwined with charity and volunteerism. For more information on Tuesday's print magazines, events, partnerships, and the Creative Life initiative, please visit www.TuesdayMagazine.org.
