College of Communication - Writing Arts

Community and Events

The MA program fosters community through small class size, campus readings and special events. Since spring 2006, we have invited writers to campus through the Harrah’s Emerging Writers series; recent visiting writers include Thaddeus Rutkowski, Mimi Schwartz, Sandra Dolby, Paul Lisiky, and Victoria Redel. These writers, known for their ability to interact with students, gave readings of their work to the campus community and taught Master classes for our M.A. students. During Fall 2009, spoken word artist Sarah Kay will be on campus for two workshops and a performance; in Spring 2009, we will welcome Maja Wilson, author of Rethinking Rubrics.

In addition, students have opportunities to read their own work during special events throughout the year and during our annual thesis symposium.

Faculty in the graduate program are writers, teacher-scholars, and active professionals with a strong commitment to graduate education and to helping students to develop into confident, successful writers.
