Tuesday, December 8, 2020, 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Join Dr. Michael Cornelius for a conversation about majoring in English and writing. Learn about Wilson’s majors in Literary Studies, Media Writing (including concentrations in Sports Journalism, Photojournalism, Equine Journalism, Science Writing and more) and Creative Writing and how these majors can lead to amazing career opportunities for you. This virtual event will be held via Zoom.

As an added bonus, Dr. Cornelius is encouraging all registered students to send him a piece of their writing ahead of time—a short story, a couple of poems, pieces written for your school newspaper, a chapter from that book you plan to finish someday—whatever you like! Dr. C will end the session with a personal feedback workshop for each student. Dr. C. is himself the author of 20 books and has been a finalist for several national literary prizes—though, as he likes to remind everyone, he has never actually won any of them. More details about this opportunity will be e-mailed to you after registering for the event.
