As the semester comes to a close, writers of The Vehicle will showcase their pieces or work tonight.
Glen Davis, a graduate of the English department, will also be featured at the event, which begins at 5 p.m. in the Effingham Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Rebecca Griffith, editor-in-chief of The Vehicle, said writers of the fall and spring issues of the student literary journal are given special recognition at the English department awards tea.
"In the spring of 2008, Glen won second place in the category of 'Best Prose' for a story of his published in that semester's Vehicle," Griffith said.
Members of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honors society, read all of the work that is submitted to The Vehicle, and they make the decision on who is published in The Vehicle.
The journal is published once a semester.
If students want to be published in The Vehicle, there is a Facebook group that anyone can join.
"While submissions are being accepted, a box is set up in the English department office where students can drop off their work." Griffith said.
The number of submissions for The Vehicle varies each semester, but this semester there are 15 writers featured, Griffith said.
