About The Makeshift Review

At Cornerstone University, students strive to honor Christ in all that they do. Just as students in the science division study Creation and music students compose new melodies, our student writers aim to glorify Him through written and visual expression. 

 

The Makeshift Review is a literary journal created and managed by students. Here, we share the narratives that Cornerstone University scholars have crafted in poetry and prose, as well as artwork and photography. Students of Cornerstone University intend to harness the creative capacities given to us by God to produce something new and worthy of appreciation, in the name of Christ, the Author of Life.
