hello garglings! we at the garg would like to formally (eugh) announce that eic self-nominations are now open for the 2026–27 volume ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ this form is open to all uoft members of our community, though the final candidate(s) will be decided by our current masthead and staff, with all campaigning and voting being internal. if you’ve written, drawn, or collaged for us, or joined us at a good ol’ garg production night, and are interested in coordinating the next volume, we’d highly encourage you to apply.

more information about the q&a period will be shared with candidates on april 8. it also will not require constantly checking discord, since breaks will be built into the schedule.
