Russell House Readings

Throughout the academic year, a number of Visiting Writers are brought to campus by the English Department to offer readings and craft talks and to meet students in a variety of settings, contributing to an inclusive atmosphere of inspiration and support. The Reading Series has a history spanning many decades now and generally takes place on Wednesdays, 6pm in the historic Russell House. It is coordinated by Rachel Heng, Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Russell House Reading Series, and Danielle Vogel, Associate Professor of English and Director of Creative Writing.
