Writing is an essential part of a holistic artistic practice and poetry can take any form, from haiku, to stream-of-consciousness, to a piece of prose. As a group we will come together to each develop  our own individualized writing voice. Members will create and share a weekly poem inspired by a prompt democratically decided upon the week before. Discussions and critique will follow in workshop style. We will also bring to the table readings from our favorite poets and writers to share as inspiration. With the goal of assembling a student zine at the end of the year, this club will be meeting weekly on Mondays from 1-2 PM. Join us!

Come and share what excites you about how people around the world have historically explored the figure. Bring something about global figurative tradtions you wish
others knew, want to know more about, or want to bring new understanding to. This is a forum to share our interests and expand our knowledge. The world is full of exciting ways all cultures have interpreted experience through the human form.

Last Tuesday of the Month. 1:00-2:00pm. Room 101

The mission of the Italian Language and Culture Club is to bring together those who desire to learn, are learning, and are fluent in Italian to nurture and progressively challenge an on-going dialogue on campus in and around the Italianlanguage and culture. The club will meet 3 times per month on Mondays from 12:45 to 1:45 on campus for a casual tutoring session aimed to encourage the practice of speaking Italian. One meeting each month (day and time tbd) the club will organize an off-campus Italian-focused experience: i.e. have dinner, go to an exhibition, see a film.

Grab some yarn and join us at lunch. Beginners welcome!

Dedicated to support and resources for our International students.
