ABOUT INTRAMINUTIA
Intraminutia is founded on the belief that life is an amalgamation of many small moments, and focusing on the details of the human experience allows us to deeply experience and appreciate life in its purest form.
Our mission is to celebrate these intricacies and highlight the work of those who do the same. As a journal whose scope is exclusive to the Far Western Region of Sigma Tau Delta, we value quality undergraduate work and diverse perspectives from the Rocky Mountains, to the coast, and beyond.

Submissions are currently open for our second edition. Submit your work and let's make history together!
