Graduate Student Orientation Meetings

We will be continuing with the orientation meetings for incoming and first year MA and PhD students. Topics covered will include: mental health, how to succeed in the program, how to write a successful seminar paper, and other concerns that incoming students have.

These sessions will be broken up across a few Fridays this year and take place on Zoom.

You are strongly encouraged to attend. 

Write Now

Write Now is a weekly get together where those interested can come and be productive around others. If you have writing you need to do or other coursework or grading, this is the place to be. You can get some work done and socialize with others simultaneously.

Starting this Monday, 24 Aug., Write Now will be held from 5-7pm  Mondays on Zoom. Check your email for the link.

Some time has been set aside at the end of the department’s incoming MA/PhD orientation for returning grads to meet the new grads.

Come if you want an opportunity to welcome our new grads!

This meeting will happen via Zoom so watch out for the link in your email.

Online Instruction with Zoom

This coming Friday, English department grad Staci Stutsman will be running a workshop on zoom interactivity for us all. This is open to everyone! Faculty from English and Creative Writing; MFAs, MAs, and PhDs; first time teachers and last time teachers!

Staci will present for 30 minutes on ways to create interactive zoom sessions, including: options for sharing writing, using the whiteboard function, annotating on a file or desktop, sharing content from a second camera, and granting remote access for a mouse.

Her presentation will be followed by 30 minutes of time for questions and answers.
