Celebrate the National Day on Writing through one of the many events being planned on campus from noon to 4 p.m. on Oct. 20.
The Writing Excellence Initiative and the Writing Center are hosting events across campus to celebrate writing in all its forms: through photos, film and graphics; with pens, pencils and computers; in graphs, etchings and murals; on sidewalks, screens and paper.
All events being held on Oct. 20 will be from noon to 4 p.m. Participants will earn collectors buttons at each installation, so come out and collect them all!
