Mission Statement

To the Readers

Sapere Aude is a publication by and for the students of the Chapman University Honors
Program, a program that encourages cooperation and camaraderie across the boundaries ofdiscipline. The beauty of encouraging such interdisciplinary connection is that it, following the motto of Sapere Aude, dares people to think, to think of anything they can. This publication seeks to showcase the unique talents of these students while rewarding them with the prestige that comes with publication experience.

To the Creators

With graduate school and the professional world on the horizon, nothing can prepare
the student in quite the same way as a publication. Whether you’re looking to publish for the first time, or you’re a veteran of the process, there’s a place for your brainchildren here. Sapere Aude accepts non-fiction, creative non-fiction, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays, paintings, drawings, sculptures, music, dance, film, photography, fashion – just about everything. That means whether it’s an audio clip of you singing Carmen, a video produced for your intermediate film production class, or the story you wrote in high school about a fateful encounter between a forty-ton flying beluga whale and his awkward, arranged-bride-to-be giraffe lady friend, we want to hear it, see it, and read it. All of it. And, if we like it, we want to publish it and give you some recognition for your talents. Just take a look at our brief submission guidelines in your category of interest – you probably have something that qualifies.
