Tapestry Media is a new research initiative that offers students an opportunity to publish their work. Sara Sobota, principal lecturer of English and editor of Tapestry print magazine, and Bob Batchelor, assistant professor of communication, co-taught a course in Spring 2026 on feature writing, teaching students how to produce professional-level stories on topics related to the Edwards College. Below are highlights of work created through that course.
In Summer 2026, Tapestry Media launched as a dedicated website and offer a wide variety of student-produced work, including writing as well as design, art, and multimedia elements.
