3:00-5:00pm
ZSR Library, Room 665
Do you need a change of scenery from your campus and/or home office? Are you looking for a writing community, but not another critique group? Are you looking, in other words, for a space to “just write”? If so, the HI has a solution.
The Humanities Institute’s new program Just Write. will continue from 3:00-5:00pm on Friday, September 13th in Room 665 of the ZSR Library. It will continue every Friday at the same time throughout the 2024 Fall Semester (returns to the Heritage Room, Reynolda Hall on Friday, September 20th). It is open to all faculty working in the humanities.
The HI will provide space and coffee, you do the rest.
Please click here to register.
We hope to see you there!
If you have any questions, contact Aimee Mepham, HI Associate Director, at mephamam@wfu.edu.
