Manchester Metropolitan University students and staff gather to celebrate the seventh installment of its student magazine Humanity Hallows
At an event held at the university’s Number 70 building, the Humanity Hallows team invited students and staff to celebrate the launch of their latest print magazine.
Based in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the student magazine’s editorial team has grown exponentially over the past few years, with students from all across the university joining the ranks, contributing their wealth of skills and collaborating on a number of exciting projects.
Featuring interviews with local performance poet ARGH KiD, Education Secretary Angela Rayner and local bands and including tips, tricks and things to do in the city on a budget, Humanity Hallows latest issue covers a wealth of content.
As members of the Humanity Hallows team, students are offered the authentic experience of running a magazine, supported by Manchester Met Student Media Officer Natalie Carragher. She said:
“Humanity Hallows is a brilliant opportunity for our students not only to build a portfolio of work, but also to meet new people, collaborate with students and staff across the university and embark on a journey of training and practical experience.
“The students are there at the conception; they’re the creative engine that drives the magazine forward and I’m looking forward to hearing what the new students will bring to the project this year.”
Manager of the Manchester Writing School James Draper added,
“The University, and the Writing School, are always in the city – at the library, at the Royal Exchange, at HOME, with Humanity Hallows regularly reporting on these events. It’s about leaving a cultural footprint.”
Outgoing Student Editor-in-Chief Jacqueline Grima, who has held the position for the past two years, said,
“My time as Student Editor-in-Chief of Humanity Hallows has been invaluable. Not only have I met and interviewed some very well known and established members of the literary and entertainment industries, I have also travelled as far afield as Poland as part of a student press pack, all the time building up a portfolio of work that I can now show to prospective employers and publishers. I would recommend to any student to get involved.
“The first print edition brought Humanity Hallows to the attention of people at the University that probably hadn’t seen it before. I’m looking forward to watching it grow as new students from across Manchester Met join the ranks.”
The seventh edition of Humanity Hallows promises continuity: a strengthening of the magazine’s foundations, as well as an expansion upon them. When Humanity Hallows goes to print for the eighth time in January 2018, it will evolve again. The team are confident that it will go from strength to strength.
