Students may also volunteer as costume, light and set construction assistants. Advanced students may design or direct shows, including selected one-acts for touring. WGCS, the college radio station, has a student station manager and staff members. The station features classical and folk music, public affairs and religious programs, news and sports. On the air every day of the year, WGCS offers students many opportunities for broadcast experience.
Students edit two major publications on campus.
The Goshen College Record, a weekly newspaper, includes reports, analysis and photographic coverage of campus events and issues and provides a forum for student, faculty and staff opinion. Maple Leaf gives an annual photographic and journalistic overview of campus life. Sponsored by the English department, Pinchpenny Press publishes small volumes of creative writing by students and faculty members. Broadside publishes occasional short pieces of creative writing in signed, limited editions. Editorial committees of students and members of the English department faculty approve manuscripts for both publication series.
