The Cypress Dome Society is the University of Central Florida\u2019s literary organization staffed by undergraduate students.

Founded in 1989, The Cypress Dome<\/em> is edited, designed, and produced by a selected editorial team of The Cypress Dome Society students as part of a year-long internship. Poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, flash fiction\/nonfiction, graphic narratives, and visual art may be submitted in the fall term, according to submission guidelines distributed each fall, to be considered for publication in the annual issue published each spring.<\/span><\/p>\n
