Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Since spring 2001, Professors Sharon Barrios and Lori Weber and student editors have produced three annual volumes of Studium: The Student Journal of Politics in the Department of Political Science at California State University, Chico. The main goal of the Studium project is to offer students a unique educational opportunity. Studium gives student authors a chance to publish quality papers and to reference their publication on resumes and graduate or law school applications. It also gives other students an opportunity to read their peers' high-quality work. In addition, it gives the student editors the chance to read, critique, and edit a wide array of papers on politics. In the process the students learn production skills, including desk-top publishing; diplomacy skills as they work closely with student authors; grant writing skills as they strive to find journal funding; and promotional skills in order to solicit papers, contact university libraries for journal placement, organize an annual journal conference, and to begin to develop a nationwide student journal association. Finally, Studium supplies instructors with a convenient teaching tool with its examples of high quality student papers. This paper provides an account of our experience with the organizing, production, and maintenance of this unique educational opportunity for both students and professors. Student journals are fairly common in English departments in universities around the United States. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the only student journal located in a U.S. Political Science department. Consequently, this paper will mark the beginning of an effort to assist in expanding this practice to other universities.
