Growth
According to CCSU's September 29, 1999 edition of The Recorder, "(In 1990) the Helix was awarded a yearly budget of $300." By 1999, it had "grown to a yearly budget of $8,000." By 2006, its yearly budget had increased to $25,000. Presently the yearly budget still stands at $25,000, funding the biannual printing, bringing poets and writers to campus and providing staff workshops to improve quality of the magazine and editing process.
In the Fall of 2007, The Helix began collaborating with the Connecticut Review, or CT Review. The 2007–2008 Primere issue of The Helix had guest editors–faculty advisors Dr. David Cappella, Ravi Shankar (poet), and Dr. Stuart Barnett. In Fall 2008 Dr. Cappella and Dr. Shankar signed on board for full-time advising. In the 2008–2009 editions the magazine teamed up with local high school students and featured their writing in a special high school section. Previously in 2007, the magazine had worked with students through the "Night at the Museum" project, where student work was featured in New Britain Museum of American Art then printed in the magazine.
Currently, the Helix Magazine is trying to focus its efforts on the students of CCSU and is trying to increase membership to make up for the number of people leaving in the future years.
