What is the relationship between Shenandoah and Washington and Lee University?
Shenandoah is funded and supported by Washington and Lee University through the Office of the Dean of the College and is located in Mattingly House on the Washington and Lee University campus. The magazine maintains a board of university advisors who offer guidance and advice, and the current editor conducts an intern program in which undergraduate students work for the journal and learn the craft of editing as an academic course in the English Department. The current editor regularly teaches in the Washington and Lee University English Department and organizes Poetry Month events for the university. He also represents the university at conferences and workshops such as the Sewanee Writers Conference, Writers @ Work, the Appalachian Writers Workshop and the Vermont College MFA program. Like the university which sponsors it, Shenandoah strives to encourage imagination, precision, prudence, diversity and daring.
