2021 Summer Residency

This year we had another successful summer residency. We welcomed some proclaimed authors, Leslie Jamison, Patricia Smith, and Viet Thanh Nguyen. We were honored to have our visiting writers join us and share their readings with us. We also had readings from our faculty and students during our annual open mic nights. After our rigorous two week session, we had our ceremony for our graduating seniors.
