Bossier is a magazine at Georgetown that is dedicated to creating a publication that provides space for people with marginalized gender identities and their allies on campus and across the globe.

We are here to...
1. Fill a niche at Georgetown. There are plenty of wonderful organizations on campus that help women in the professional sphere, which is necessary and important. What's missing is a publication focused on the empowerment of women through the sharing of their personal experiences and creative work. We think it is vital for women on campus to have a female-driven space to share their writing and art.
2. Be a prominent submission-based publication on campus. Currently, few publications on campus publish curated content in a print format twice a year. The beauty of a submission-based magazine is that it will intentionally include voices from different communities across Georgetown, which is important to Bossier.
3. Create discussion. Bossier is dedicated to sharing opinions of people of all races, genders, sexualities, and geographic backgrounds.
4. Build a community. Bossier is about women helping women, intersectionality, and inclusion. We want to create a supportive space to talk about important things, make college a little less scary, and have a good time doing it.
