We’re back on May 1st!
Everyday throughout the month of May 2026, the South Sound Review showcases the creative work of students at SPSCC.
More Voices, A Wider Community
This year’s edition brings together a broader and more diverse group of students than ever before, from across campus including the arts, sciences, math & engineering, business, social work and more.
Our theme this year is…
Journeys shape who we are, whether they take us across the world, through our studies, or deeper into ourselves. Within this collection are voices in motion, stories unfolding, and ideas taking shape. Join us in exploring the perspectives that brought these pieces to life.
What to Expect
Discover a dynamic mix of work, from poetry, short stories, and essays to photography, film, ceramics, games, culinary creations, and cross-cultural projects.
We can’t wait to share it with you!
