RIC goes to AWP!

The Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference is in Boston this year (March 6 – March 9), and we’re going! Alumni, students, and friends of the program: if you’re attending, please let us know, so we can arrange an informal Rhode Island College get-together.

Please stop by the Shoreline table at the Book Fair as well to say hello to faculty and current student staff.

Also, if you are going on the job market soon, be sure to attend the panel “Landing the Tenure-track Job Without a Book: What to Expect on the Job Market,” which will include words of wisdom from our newest faculty member, Robert Long Foreman:
