Events
Each year, we invite storytellers of every kind—poets, journalists, filmmakers, dramatists, comedians, novelists—to come to campus and tell stories on a particular theme. In the past, we've had everyone from Neil Gaiman to Cheryl Strayed to Jad Abumrad to Margaret Atwood come to campus to share their wisdom. Join us for remarkable evenings with some of the best storytellers in America.
