Committee on the Status of Women Seeks Forum Topics
The Committee on the Status of Women has been hosting an Open Forum in the spring and fall for several years. We have had great success and participation with these in the past. Once again, the committee is seeking suggestions for important topics/issues that you would like discussed for our next event in November. Your input will help us secure a knowledgeable presenter for the forum. Send your suggestions to Dr. Marian Farrell, chair of the committee, via e-mail farrellm1@scranton.edu or campus mail.
Creative Conference/Workshop held at Keystone College July 15-18
In recent years, several of us from the University have attended “The Gathering,” a creative conference and workshop at Keystone College held annually each summer. This is a conference for academics and non-academics alike, and high school and college students are also welcome. It's an opportunity to listen and converse with some big name creative and non-fiction writers. It's a special, intimate meeting that we feel many in the University community would enjoy.
The Gathering is held July 15-18, and it’s titled “Chaos and Creativity: Where the Strange Crossroads Lie.” The event includes workshops, lectures, readings, panel discussions and conversations. Among the speakers expected to present are Dava Sobel (science writer), Chris Abani (novelist/poet), Billy Collins (poet), Jennifer Armstrong (fiction/non-fiction writer), Gail Carson Levine (children's author), Georgia June Goldberg (visual artist) and Philip Mosley (scholar/translator).
