Student Writing Workshop Opportunity

Visiting author workshops offer faculty a novel approach to the various learning styles important to the educational experience, and allow students to explore their creativity--which for many is often latent and untapped--while under the guidance of a professional writer.

So . . . to that end, this is a reminder that playwright Mary Kathryn Nagle will be offering a creative writing workshop for students and faculty on Friday, May 3 @ 12pm in Monroe B. There will also be a reading and book signing ​Thursday, May 2 @ 7pm in Monroe B.
