Current students: Join us for our weekly events on campus! Writer's Studio Workshops every Monday night and Open Editorial Meeting every Friday. Learn how to get involved

Each year, we also invite storytellers of every kind—poets, journalists, filmmakers, dramatists, comedians, novelists—to come to campus and tell stories on a particular theme. These events are open to all. 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.
