What Students Have to Say About Their Work in Toyon

“As an aspiring Technical Writer, the Toyon Multilingual Journal of Literature and Art at Humboldt State University has provided me with the imperative tools necessary to succeed in the publishing world, which I will carry with me through the remainder of my academic career.”   —Abby Moreno, English Major

​“Toyon means the world to me, it means another gateway to so many opportunities that I am now more prepared for than ever. Toyon means coming to class and feeling like a human, like a valued piece of a team, someone who makes a difference. Toyon means struggling to do your best, trying your hardest, and succeeding even when you fail. Toyon means the world to me, and I know that my time spent here will push me forward into any and all challenges that I might encounter along my path.”  —Erin Scofield, English Major
​
“Toyon has been a great resource to me. The class gave me a role and helped me grow educationally, individually, and in work ethic. It allowed me to feel like I was part of a team. The Toyon platform allows authors to get their foot in the door and let their voices be heard. When we had our Toyon release party, one author came all the way from Canada because having his piece in the literary magazine meant so much to him. It also gave a platform for cultural voices that have not been heard. Toyon gives the student the tools to success to a bright and wonderful future.” —Kim Hill, English Major
