The 2011-12 cohort of SFU’s Master of Publishing Program settled in today. This year we have a cohort of 19 fresh faces from across Canada and around the world, plus a pair of visiting scholars from China. Following today’s orientation, they settle in tomorrow to a packed schedule of seminars, courses, and project work that will cross editorial, production, industry dynamics, management, marketing, digital media, and more.

We wish them luck, energy, and inspiration for the months to come!

Transcontinental Media has announced that MPub alum Anicka Quin (class of 2002) has been named the new Editor-in-Chief at Western Living Magazine.

Masthead reports:

Quin has been with the magazine since starting as an intern while completing her Master of Publishing at Simon Frasier University in 2002. Since then she has taken on many roles at the magazine, from developing Special Interest Publications to being managing editor since 2007, says publisher Kim Peacock.

Major congrats to Anicka!!!

A big welcome to the incoming MPub class of 2010/2011!

We oriented the new group this morning, and then lunched them in the usual fashion. From the looks of it, we have a very smart, on-the-ball, and social group this year.
