MCC's Creative Arts Reading Series Thrives in Fall 2020

The Creative Arts Committee of Monroe Community College proudly announces its writers for the fall 2020 term. All authors have pre-taped themselves reading their works. Those links are available in the descriptions below. They may accessed at any time for educational purposes. The members of the Creative Arts team at MCC encourage you to share this information with your students as well. At the bottom of this announcement are four e-posters that you may distribute internally.
