mPress invites you to share your life story on a 3 by 5 canvas, something that defines you or speaks to who you are. Use a story, drawing, haiku, phrases, cartoon or whatever best communicates your story. The form, with its limited space, elicits fascinating biographical glimpses.

Suzanne Ehst, academic counselor for multicultural students at Goshen College, came up with the idea last fall as a way to share windows on diversity at the college. She blessed our effort to bring the canvas to the convention.

mPress will post the cards on the wall outside the newsroom (D-144) and on our Web site; we’ll also select a few to be published in the daily print edition.
