Creative Writing in Rome Information Session

*Summer A-Term Creative Writing in Rome Information Session*

The Creative Writing in Rome Information Session has been rescheduled for TUESDAY, JANUARY 31 @ 3:30 pm in the lobby of the Creative Writing Office, room B25 Padelford Hall.

The Creative Writing Office is located in the B Wing (the middle section) of Padelford Hall, on the LL Level. (The LL level is above the PL Level and below Level 1--see below for more detailed directions.)

The Summer Creative Writing in Rome Program is open to anyone (undergraduates, graduates, alumni, citizens-at-large) seeking to join an intensive program in the written arts. All majors are welcome to apply. No experience is presumed; a wide range of experience is anticipated.

Detailed program information is also available on their website:


The application deadline is February 15, 2012

You are also more than welcome to contact us if you have questions!

DIRECTIONS to the Creative Writing Office:

If you have not been to the Creative Writing Office before, or if Padelford's labyrinthine hallways make you feel like you're trapped in some kind of retro science fiction movie, see below:

From the A Wing Entrance:

If you enter the building from Stevens Way on the A Wing side (the side closest to Hall Health and the HUB) take the A-wing elevator down to the LL Level. Turn left, and walk down the hallway and through two sets of doors (you'll pass through a little breezeway). Just past the English Graduate Lounge and the wall that says "The English Department's World of Writing" you'll see the Creative Writing Office on your right. If you go through another door and end up outside again, you've gone too far.

From the C Wing Entrance:

If you enter from Stevens Way on the C Wing Side (the side across the street from the Communications building and next to the bus stop) take the C-wing elevator down to the LL Level. You'll see the Statistics Office in front of you as you step off the elevator. Turn left, go out the door and walk straight across to the B Wing. The hallway will make a bend to the right, and then the Creative Writing Office will be on your left. If you come to the wall that says "The English Department's World of Writing" or if you go through another set of doors and another breezeway, you've gone too far.
