Join us May 11th for Creative Writing Reading and Celebration of Writing Events at the Library
We welcome you to continue celebrating the scholarship of MCC students by
attending the following Scholars’ Day events at the Library!
Small Eternities: A Creative Writing Capstone
Reading
May 11th, 2PM – 3PM, 4th floor LeRoy V Good Library
Eight students in their final semester of the Creative Writing program will
share the experiences and skills they’ve gained that allow them to
participate in the art of expressing themselves through writing. The pieces
they read will test boundaries and explore familiar tropes from new angles to
entertain and provoke thought. They are reflective, haunting, and humorous,
exploring the realities that we all face in our lifetimes. We are all story
tellers and we all live, every one of us, in the stories told by others. This
event will enthrall lovers of stories both fantastic and grounded, filled with
honest meaning and the enchanting lies of burgeoning voices, stories meant to
hang in that place where the clouds of daydreams linger. The reading will be
introduced by Creative Writing Professor Maria Brandt. Then, these eight
emerging writers will read their original work, giving them an opportunity to
practice public speaking and to have the significant experience of conveying
their work to a live audience. You’ll hear pieces written with passion,
imagination, and that show an amazing array of talent. Come support our
graduating students, and enjoy an afternoon of new literature!
Celebration of Writing
May 11th, 3PM – 4:30PM, 2nd floor LeRoy V Good Library
Please join us for this college wide showcase of student writing! Nineteen
MCC students will present their written work (academic and creative) at this
open forum. With a set-up similar to a science fair, the Celebration of Writing
event will give students the opportunity to share their voice with a friendly
and supportive audience, encouraging dialogue as a path toward developing
intellectual curiosity.
