At Cloud, we believe that students learn best by putting their skills to the test. Our publications do just that. From the Creative Writing classroom to KVCO Radio, our students are preparing work for real audiences.

The Silver Lining

After the successful relaunch and expansion of The Silver Lining creative journal in 2022, Cloud County Community College’s students, faculty, and staff are excited to share their creative writing and artistic talents once again. Each edition grows in size, in contributors, and in ambition. We are thrilled to showcase our talented community, and we hope to inspire more artists and writers to share their own voices with us in the future.

In 2024, we held our first annual Launch Party, complete with signings, readings, creative videos, and an Art Show. This event was a celebration of Cloud creativity and community. 

Not only are students the core of the publication’s content, but they are also integral behind the scenes in publishing the creative journal. Students in the Creative Writing II class work as student editors and follow pieces all the way through the submission, editing, and publishing processes, and students in Design courses assist with the design, layout, and advertising processes. This is just another way that Cloud Communications and Humanities students gain hands-on experience that they can transfer to the real world or further studies.
