Update: Visiting Writers for 9/9 Goes Virtual!
Tracy Ross will no longer be traveling to campus due to COVID concerns. The English Department hopes you'll still attend her virtual reading via Zoom on Thursday, September 9th at 7 p.m. (Eastern Time) and help her feel right at home.
Join us for a great reading & bring your questions too, whether they're about Tracy's work, the writing craft, or freelancing and publishing. Remember to invite your students and community members who might be interested, too.
