	Freshmen Comp. Class publishes Starter Guide to The Bluest Eye As part of an innovative service learning initiative, Dr. Jennifer Hayes' freshmen composition class created and released a reader's starter guide for Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. From the website: "Contemporary readers might find some of Morrison's references hard to place. Misunderstandings can undercut the power of this important work. Consequently, I have created a project for my freshman students to help create a reading guide that explains some of the introductory ideas to help people new to the work."

	Students enrolled in Writing for Publication Fall 2018 produced this evocative publication as part of a service-learning contribution to the I Want to Write Initiative. In this semester-long pursuit, students researched and visited area plantations, then wrote poetry reflecting their experiences. Collaborations with TSU's History and Art departments helped in bringing this effort to fruition. LLP celebrates their engaged effort and looks forward to future publications from these promising students.
Check out the latest in LLP from a student's point of view by visiting our student blog. The blog is managed during Fall/Spring semesters by student writers and interns.	This Anthology celebrates a yearlong commitment to poetry, art and spoken word via LLP department events and programs.

The Critical Approach was a semester-long engagement for English majors and minors enrolled in Writing for Publication (Fall 2015). Their expressed goal was to create a newsletter that made fellow Tennessee State University students aware of the developments in Literature, Languages and Philosophy.	*Sketches: The Online Creative Arts Journal of Tennessee State University* is an online open access journal published in Digital Scholarship @ Tennessee State University in collaborative partnership with the Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy and the Tennessee State University Library.
