Roosevelt's 2nd MFA Graduate Reading is Tomorrow!

Whoa there, Santa's Little Helper.  You've got plenty of time!  The reading's not 'till tomorrow!

That's right, we're sending our second batch of graduating MFA-er's off in style.*   Tomorrow at 5:00 in the Gage Gallery, The Roosevelt MFA program will hold its second and final Graduate Reading of the semester.   Please join us to bid adieu to five fantastic writers who have all graced the Roosevelt MFA programs with their presence for the last several years:

Bernard Cox!

Patrick Garret!

Kasey Mather!

Esley Stahl!

AND

Kelli Worral!

Come down to congratulate these graduating writers and hear them read their sensational writing.  

*Style, in this case, being boxed wine and cake.  

Stahl to Infuse Awesomeness Into Your Personal Statement

Esley Stahl, MFA Creative Non-Fiction Candidate and Queen of Awesome, will be hosting a Personal Statement Workshop in the Roosevelt University Writing Center this coming Tuesday, April 12th, and Wednesday, April 13th. The center is at the Auditorium Building, Rm 650, and will start at 3:00 pm.  

Worried that you have nothing to write about yourself? Worried that you haven't tussled with enough rattlesnakes or climbed enough volcanoes? Esley says, "Don't worry!" Because this workshop, open to all students, will teach you how to write a compelling and strong personal statement and find the awesomeness in your everyday life!

Stop by next Tuesday or Wednesday, with a pen, some paper, and your own unique and personal story!
