Wordsmith’s Pen, an artistic and creative wall magazine has been published by the students of English Department under the supervision of Department of English on 25 March 2015 and is on display in the ground floor at FASS Building of AIUB. A number of creative writings in English such as short stories and poems written by the students of different departments of AIUB are included in Wordsmith’s Pen.
