The Ivory Tower is inspired by a belief in the necessity of artistic expression and its power to enlighten, challenge, and captivate. We strive to expose and promote original work by undergraduate writers and artists across the University of Minnesota campus.
The Ivory Tower is part of a hands-on laboratory designed to provide real-world experience in producing a literary publication, with facilities provided by the university's English department. The class is composed of students in diverse fields of study, with the intent of creating a balanced group possessing a variety of skills important to magazine publication.
