Sosland Journal

The Sosland Journal is an annual publication, funded by Rheta Sosland-Hurwitt, that features essays by student winners of the Ilus W. Davis Writing Competition. The journal allows exemplary writing from both Composition courses and university-wide Writing Intensive courses to be published and distributed to a larger audience, including UMKC students who use the Journal as a textbook in select writing courses and the Kansas City community at large.
