THE LAVENDER

Wesleyan University's Bi-Semester Poetry and Prose Magazine.

Meetings every Monday 8-9 p.m. at the Shapiro Center!

The Lavender's Issue 10: Excess received an Honorable Mention in the 2024 Association for Writers & Writing Programs' national undergraduate literary magazine competition. 

​Why The Lavender?

The Lavender is an homage to the fact that Wesleyan University’s official color used to be lavender. The color was changed because, according to an October 1884 issue of the Argus, lavender was not suitable for intercollegiate sports. “Lavender is not a striking color,” the editorial proclaimed. Well, 1884 critic, we here at The Lavender find the color incredibly striking if we do say so ourselves!
