The PALM is The Pride student newspaper’s Annual Literary Magazine.

Our Call:

This year’s edition of The PALM seeks to explore the relationships between identity and culture. CSUSM’s diverse student population allows for our campus community to carefully consider how a person’s culture, experiences, and background influences his or her identity in relation to the university experience.

Submissions may address, but are not limited to, cultural, gender, sexual, language, and academic identities.
