1. »  WVU alumna and author visits campus to speak to a creative writing class

    A very thoughtful and generous article about my trip home in August.

    The interview for this article took place in the Woodburn Hall classroom in which I had Dr. DiClerico’s legendary American Presidency class way back in 2003). After the interview, I got to climb to the tippy top tower of Woodburn (hello, calf muscles — it’s been a while…) and sign my name on the wall, among decades and decades of other “distinguished” alumni graffiti. So incredibly special. Very cool, Eberly College, very cool… Thank you!
