Hey Fusians,

At last week's meeting our very own Professor, Karla Kelsey came in to talk to us about the business and technical aspects of the publishing and editing world.  She also talked about her working experience out of college to present day.  It was great having her talk to the F.U.S.E committee, and it was a pleasure!  Thanks Karla!

Hey there Fusions!  At last weeks meeting Karla was unable to make it due to scheduling conflicts on Wednesdays.  (She was going to come in for a bit and talk about publishing and editing)  The next week, the meeting time for FUSE will be at 4:15PM.  ALSO -- there will be a Genre wars event on April 27th on Sunday at 1pm @ the practice field behind the Writers House! Come on down!

A Visitor: Chris Liek!

Hey Guys and Gals!

At last week's meeting we had our special guest -- Chris Liek -- come by to talk to our FUSE group about a few things.  Chris has informed us about one of the many literary highlights in his life, one of the major ones being that the editor of Granta wanted to set up a meeting with him during the fall of next year.  Big steps!  Chris also works at Columbia and New School.

As for updates, we have raised 161 dollars and 26 cents, roughly rounding out to 107 dollars in profit!  Nice job guys!

At last weeks meeting we met to discuss an update on the fundraiser for FUSE.  Also, our very own Steph Heinz and Kristen Brida also came to the front to discuss job searches and internships.  Kristen also gave us good advice on when to back out of a search when things start getting fishy.  

Dr. Roth visits FUSE

At last weeks meeting for FUSE our very own Dr. Roth, Professor of English and Director of the Jewish Studies Program, payed a visit to talk to us about how he started out and got to where he is now, as well as some of the business involved in publishing and editing.  Dr. Roth started reading quite early and found a love of books and literature in his father's Jewish book store (Which also happens to be one of the biggest in the U.S.). One very comforting detail that Dr. Roth shared with us was that he didn't think that he would end up where he was now, and that goes to show that we never know where we are going to be in the future.  He also shared with us some of his experiences after college (taking off two years to take time for himself before grad school).  It was an honor having Dr. Roth visit FUSE.

End of the Semester!!

It is the second to last week of the semester, and since next week is finals week, today will be the Susquehanna FUSE chapter's last meeting of Fall 2013.  The semester has been an extremely eventful one for our wonderful, not-so-tiny club of undergraduate student editors.  We have reviewed several journals, discussed several more together as a group, hosted ice cream socials, tea parties, book swaps--the list goes on and on.  But the best thing about any college club worth its budget, ESPECIALLY FUSE, is that the events are going to keep on coming.  Next semester is sure to bring with it even more collections of undergraduate writing to read and review, many more creative and fun fundraising events, and even more excuses to just escape homework for a while and hang out with some like-minded peers every week.  Here's to a good semester, and another to come!
