During a recent launch party for Callisophia, an Elmira College student-run magazine that first began in the 1850s, students enjoyed discussing the magazine’s topics that address identity, gender issues, and feminism.
The publication took a multi-year hiatus during COVID-19 but relaunched two years ago as an online edition. However, the Callisophia team struggled to get much engagement with the digital version.
“I think students were hungry for a traditional print version and admittedly I was too. It’s what I had originally envisioned,” explained Emma Henault ’25, an English Literature major and President of the Callisophia Society, the club that puts the publication together.
She and those involved couldn’t be happier with the decision to go back to a print edition.
“I love it. I love how it turned out and I love how it brought people together,” she exclaimed.
Yet equally important to the group was connecting with each other and finding a place where they felt included and respected.
“The Callisophia Society not only produced the original Callisophia magazine but also held events and discussions about women's contributions to academic and professional fields,” explained Club Advisor Dr. Annaliese Hoehling, Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Academic Writing Program.
Henault said that the Callisophia Society introduced her to groups of people with different academic and social interests on campus. Many of the club and publication staff met thanks to recommendations from professors.
Among those were Tia Ruggiero ’26, a Sociology and Anthropology major, and Finch Hartwick ’27, a Theatre, Psychology, and Human Services triple major.
Dr. Mary Jo Mahoney, Associate Professor of English, recommended Ruggiero to Henault.
“Emma sent me an email explaining how the club members wanted to reinvigorate a feminist movement on campus and that’s what I wanted as part of my college experience,” shared Ruggiero.
As Secretary for the most recent issue, she conducted interviews, transcribed notes, and edited the pieces in the Student Bedroom and Professor Interview sections.
“I love how multi-dimensional this work is,” she added.
Hartwick, who is Senator of the club, provided much of the photography, photo edits, and graphic layout for the edition. He was connected to Henault through Hoehling, whom he first met when visiting EC as a junior in high school.
“I was surprised she remembered me, and even more, that she recommended me,” he said.
Hartwick, who is gender queer and identifies as a male with he/they pronouns, is grateful that he found such an inclusive space on campus.
“It can be hard to find a place to be seen coming from a small, rural town,” he shared.
Ruggiero explained that inclusivity is a driving mission of the publication.
“It’s why people should pay attention to it,” she said.
