The Orpheus Art & Literary Magazine is the oldest student-run organization on campus at the University of Dayton. Since its beginning in the 1902-03 school year, then called The Exponent, UD's art and literary magazine has supported and provided a platform for student-made poetry, fiction and art.
With over 200 issues released since its inception, Orpheus has allowed countless students their first chance of being published and their first chance to show their creativity to a large audience. Our magazine allows for students to see their work printed in a high-quality publication, and gives them a taste of the world of literary and artistic journals.
However, Orpheus is not just a magazine. Orpheus is a supportive community that provides a creative outlet for hundreds of students on campus, with writing workshops, magazine launch parties and art displays.
If you're curious, we encourage you to check out some spotlights on past editors of the magazine, as well as browse through our archive on eCommons. For additional information, contact us at orpheus.magazine@gmail.com.
