Our journal is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal that is published twice annually (Spring and Fall) by the Northwest Region of Ivy Tech Community College, one of the largest community college systems in the United States. The Atrium invites and encourages innovative, creative and critical articles that spur academic discourse across the disciplines.

The Spring 2012 issue is available in the Current Issue tab. Articles may be read either through the web links or in PDF format. The PDF files may be downloaded to an e-reader. We have archived our previous issues. They can be browsed through the "Archives" link.

Readers have the opportunity to submit their comments on each published work through the Contact the Editors link in the Current Issue tab. Our editors will review the comments and provide feedback in the Forum link in future issues. Readers may also comment more formally by submitting well-constructed letter submissions, which will be considered for publication in the next issue.

We trust that the purpose of The Atrium, which is "to invite academic discourse across the disciplines," will be served in part through reading, commenting, and editorial review. As we continue to communicate with our cohorts in the academy we hope that our voices will invite other voices and our community will grow.

Material from previous issues will be archived in the Archives tab.
