蜜桃传媒

Budding writers find the creative writing community at 蜜桃传媒 inviting and full of opportunities to practice their craft. The minor in creative writing offers a carefully planned curriculum designed to foster the young writer's creative expression鈥攇uidance that is significantly enhanced by exposure to the voices and visions of some of the finest writers in the country. Each year, thanks to the endowment of the Sophie Kerr Fund and the Rose O'Neill Literary House, the College brings to campus a succession of distinguished writers, editors, and literary scholars. Billy Collins, Junot Di虂az, Nick Flynn, Jonathan Franzen, Lauren Groff, Ted Kooser, Li-Young Lee, Colum McCann, Azar Nafisi, Maggie Nelson, Joyce Carol Oates, Claudia Rankine, Jane Smiley, Natasha Trethewey, Colson Whitehead, and Jacqueline Woodson are just some of the writers and literary scholars who have come to campus in the last decade to teach, lecture, and conduct writing workshops.

The Sophie Kerr fund also supports the justly famous Sophie Kerr Prize (worth more than $75,000, the largest undergraduate literary prize in the country), as well as student scholarships, library collection development, and professional development for English Department faculty. The 蜜桃传媒 Rose O'Neill Literary House supervises about 50 learning opportunities and internships for students, as well as provides a space where students can explore the letterpress and bookmaking in the print studio.
