About the Voice of ELAC’S Milestone Literary Magazine 

The poetry, nonfiction and fiction and artwork are submitted for our Milestone Literary Magazine, which has been around since 1950, solicits submissions from across the campus from all disciplines. Students in numerous academic departments and who are studying a wide range of majors submit poetry, nonfiction and fiction, art and photography as do faculty and staff. Our hope is that more ELAC campus members will continue to contribute in the future, and that Milestone will represent the diverse and beautiful voices of our entire campus.
