Our founding mothers: a conglomeration of the CORnelian, ADelphian and DIkeian literary societies of the State Normal and Industrial College. Coraddi, first known as the State Normal Magazine, was established in 1897 as the literary quarterly of the State Normal Industrial College.
Coraddi has seen various incarnations over the years: at times quarterly, at times bi-annual, sometimes including a national Art Forum issue, at one point starting a chapbook series, sized like everything from a novel to a magazine to a coffee table book. Current tradition suggests two issues a year, featuring black and white art and poetry in the fall, and color art and prose in the spring.
Coraddi also sponsors a contest with each issue, with cash prizes awarded by faculty judges for art and literature. Any UNCG student can submit to the magazine, but staff members are ineligible for the contest.
Submissions are selected through lively discussion within our respective art, lit and production staffs. A combination of paid and volunteer staff produce the magazine. We work hard all semester, putting on the spitshine during a marathon Production Night mid-to-late semester (mandatory for all staff). Submissions are anonymous to the staff until publication.
Previous issues may be found in the tower and in Special Collections of the Walter Clinton Jackson Library at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Our office is located on the top floor of the Elliot University Center, where extra copies of recent publications may be acquired at no charge.
Any UNCG student can submit to or join Coraddi. Coraddi meets Tuesdays at 8 pm in the EUC. Contact us for more details:
