Poetry and Prose

KVCR features SCIPP program 

The literary work of San Bernardino-area elementary school students, through the Students and Coyotes Instruction in Poetry and Prose (SCIPP) program at Cal State San Bernardino, was featured on KVCR-FM 91.9 in December. Originally aired live on CSUSB’s Coyote Radio, the one-hour holiday special featured elementary school students, mentors, parents and administrators of the SCIPP program, a creative partnership between San Bernardino-area elementary schools and CSUSB’s graduate students. SCIPP meets after school at CSUSB. In each session elementary students work in collaborative groups led by MFA graduate students and explore their creativity via poetry and prose. This was the eighth year that the SCIPP kids have come in to Coyote Radio to read their creative works live on the air. The show was hosted by Lacey Kendall, a lecturer in the communication studies department. SCIPP is overseen by Alex Avila, a lecturer in the English department, and Juan Delgado, professor emeritus of English.
