Greetings!

The Department of English invites you to an informational reception and reading for the creative writing certificate program.

Current certificate students and students interested in learning more about the creative writing program are invited to attend. Faculty will give short readings from their work, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the program and the application process, as well as to chat with fellow writers.

The reception will be held on Tuesday, February 9th, at 4pm in the Sinclair Suite in the Union (room  3.128). Light refreshments will be served.

Best,
