Chrysalis is an annual magazine published by El Paso Community College staffed by undergraduate college students that features visual art and literary work in English and Spanish. Chrysalis publishes work by EPCC’s students, faculty, and staff, and by writers and artists of all ages from the border community.
Central to the vision of Chrysalis is the invaluable training we provide to our students. Our editors, who are current or former college students, play an instrumental role in selecting the pieces on these pages. They have an acute understanding of the student experience and a deep appreciation for the creative processes that drive our community.
