To celebrate the beginning of the new academic year, the English Department will host an open house for current and prospective students on Thursday afternoon from 3pm to 4:30pm. There will be light refreshments starting at 2pm in the Wicks Reading Room (adjacent to the department office in Neville 304) and the Writing Center (Neville 402), and many faculty members will be in their offices throughout the afternoon. Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to drop by and get acquainted with one another, with English faculty, and with the many resources English has to offer. A brief presentation about the department will take place at 4pm in the Wicks Room. Alumni and friends of the department are welcome!
