About
The Cauldron is a student organization producing Kalamazoo College's annual literary and visual arts magazine. It is a magazine with a long history. The college archives, in fact, hold an issue from 1920. Although the magazine has experienced important transformations since then, its mission —to publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, as well as representative pieces of visual art, created by Kalamazoo College students— remains intact. The magazine's aim to showcase the broad diversity of student voices that compose this campus, voices that grapple with a wide range of personal, political, and aesthetic concerns.
​
The Cauldron's overall excellence reflects a college community deeply engaged in the arts. Much of the writing in the magazine arises from the English Department's vigorous creative writing program, and its editorial staff is composed of English and Art majors and minors. Oliver Baez Bendorf, Assistant Professor of English, is The Cauldron's faculty advisor. The magazine's staff is responsible for its overall design and receives support, advice, and design services from the Director of Publications for the College's Office of Communication. All of Cauldron's editorial choices belong to the student editorial staff.
