About Schemata

Schemata, founded in 2009, is no longer an active online publication, but this site nonetheless serves as a useful archive of student essays (often paired with photography). Affiliated with the Writing Center / Academic Resource Center of Lycoming College, this student-produced online journal showcased and celebrated fine essays written by Lycoming students as part of their coursework. As such, the journal provided not only a beyond-the-grade publishing venue for students, but also a models-based teaching tool for faculty in courses with a writing component. These essays offered schemata—schemes, blueprints, plans—upon which students could build their own compositions. Questions about this publication can be directed to Shanna Wheeler, Director of the Writing Center.
