Background
Lot’s Wife is the primary student magazine at Monash University’s Clayton campus and has been a fundamental element of campus life for over 50 years. With a monthly print distribution in addition to a constant online presence, Lot’s Wife publishes a wide range of pieces which are written by both students and prominent figures from within society. The magazine endevours to provide relevant information to students, allowing them access to knowledge that transcends that which they are taught in the classroom. It also serves as an outlet which students can use to acquire experience which can be transferable to the workplace. In 2015, the magazine will be separated into five distinct areas; politics, student affairs, art and culture, science and engineering and sex.
