Morning Glory 2025

Read the Latest Issue

Since its creation in 1971 by Dr. Jack Ledbetter, the Morning Glory has showcased the best creative endeavors of the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of California Lutheran University.

Over the years, the Morning Glory staff has curated the best poetry and prose from anonymous submissions, and paired published works with visual art to produce this award winning magazine.

In 2001, we included for the first time original musical compositions celebrating the innovative and artistic spirit of the university community in its literary, visual, and musical expressions.

In 2021, the Morning Glory celebrated it's 50th anniversary during the COVID-19 pandemic with a fully virtual edition featuring music and video submissions as well as poetry, prose, photography, and visual art. 

Our 2026 themes is 'Home'. Submissions accepted Feb. 15-March 15. See Submission Guidelines.
