The Explorer is the ACC literary magazine. Published each summer since 2005, the magazine includes the first place winners in the ACC Student Writers’ Contest and Faculty/Staff Writers’ Contest. The magazine is designed by the ACC second year Graphic Design students. The Explorer is used as a text in ENG 111: Writing and Inquiry classes to give students an opportunity to read works by ACC authors as models for their own writing.
