The AUSB Odyssey provides a unique opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and alumni of AUSB to share their written work. We are always accepting
submissions for current and future issues. Submissions can include: current news, literary works, editorials, photography, artwork, reviews, or pieces on
social justice, business, health, or human interest. Whether you are a student in one of our various programs, faculty, staff member, or alumni, we would
love to hear from you.
Please email [email protected] with comments, questions, submissions, and/or suggestions. We appreciate your continued support of
our humble publication.
The AUSB Odyssey is a student driven production, designed to provide an opportunity to share the AUSB community’s critical and creative voices. The views represented are
those of the authors and not necessarily Antioch University Santa Barbara’s.
We would love to hear from you. . .
