Join us when we open our classroom doors to the public for two exciting days with distinguished writers Art Homer, David Jauss, Anna Monardo, and Tim Schaffert (click here for more info), as they visit the Creighton English Department’s Creative Writing Program to join our classes, read from their works, and answer questions about the writing life. All the events below (except student conferences, as noted) are open to the public and free, thanks to the generosity of Creighton’s College of Arts and Sciences.
