The moment we've all been waiting for is here at last! The release of Metamorphoses 2007-08 is finally here!
Many apologies to those of you, if any, who have not yet given up on us and are still eagerly awaiting your copies. The change in funding and everything became a little more than we could chew... in a timely manner. Switching from being a school funded production to an independent project brought on many new obstacles that proved a bit much, but we have made it at last and are thrilled to present the culmination of our efforts.
To all of those wonderful individuals and businesses who supported our funding, as well as those who contributed all the great art, poems, and stories that make up this edition, we will be sending you a copy of the journal just as soon as we can get them all packaged and labeled. We thoroughly hope you can all be as proud of the first independent edition of Met as we are, knowing that it couldnt have happened without the support and contributions of people like you! Thank you for making Met what it is this year, and we hope you will join us to see the progress in years to come and know that it all started here.
For those who are not getting copies shipped to you, you can pick yours up at the Cerro Coso campus or online at http://www.cerrocoso.edu/metamorphoses/. As I understand, we are going to try to keep this publication free of cost to CCCC students, and for non students it will be $5 per copy (plus shipping for both students and non-students if you order online). Please continue to support by telling all of your family and friends!
Id like to congratulate our cover artist, Michael Batty, both on his awesome art work and on the award he recieved at the 2008 Awards Banquet at the Ridgecrest campus yesterday. I didnt get the chance to talk with him, but he recieved recognition from the Fine Arts department as the student of the year for that subject. I have to say just from seeing your work and hearing all the great things that were said about you that you deserve it! Keep up the good work, and were proud to have your work displayed as the cover of our very first independent publication!
