The Works-in-Progress Reading Series provides a salon-style setting where students and faculty present new work and share the artist's experience beyond the classroom. Held monthly, this series provides an excellent opportunity for students to share new work in a non-academic setting, as well as to learn about faculty members artistic projects.
Works are presented and read aloud by the author, followed by a reception and informal discussion of each piece. Led by both a professor and a student, the ongoing series is open to all students and faculty.
