Mat-Su Monitor

The Mat-Su Monitor is the student newspaper of Mat-Su College. Not only a source of college news, the Monitor also publishes creative writing, art, and commentary. It is a forum for the campus community. We welcome contributions from all students, staff, and faculty of Mat-Su College.

Students, get involved!

  • Where can I read the Monitor?

  • Who should join the Monitor?

    The Mat-Su Monitor team values diversity and inclusion. We welcome ALL students. (The views and language expressed by student organizations on their websites and materials are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policies or positions of Mat-Su College.) Join the Monitor and make friends!

    If you like to write, we can use you! Your skill level does not matter. After all, you can only learn new skills by trying new things!

    But we need more than writers. We need...

    • Artists, designers, and anyone familiar with creating web content
    • Cartoonists
    • Creative writers (fiction, poetry, and so on)
    • Editors
    • Photographers

    And many more. Even if you think you have nothing to contribute, come to a meeting. There's almost certainly something you can do to help! You can also just hang out.

  • When does the Monitor meet?

    During Fall 2026 we meet on Tuesdays at 2:30 PM in Library Room 213.

    If you can't make it to our weekly meeting, don't worry. You can be involved with the Monitor no matter what! Just email us at matsu.monitor@alaska.edu!

  • When are the deadlines?

    Since we publish online, we don't have deadlines! We post when we can.

  • I want to submit an article without joining the Monitor.

    That hurts our feelings. We'd like you to join our group. But if you won't, we'll still probably take your submission. Just send us an email at matsu.monitor@alaska.edu. Ideally, you will email us before you start writing. That way we can tell you if you're on the right track.

    If you must submit something anonymously, use the form below:

     
  • I have a question for Ask Sophia.

    Ask Sophia is the advice column of the Mat-Su Monitor. You can submit an anonymous question online using our anonymous Ask Sophia form.
