Esther Freier Lectures in Literature
Twice a year the English department brings a major, prize-winning author to campus to read and talk, usually on the big stage at Northrop. It started in 2001 with Jamaica Kincaid and has hosted a long line of national and international names since. Reading-loving locals fill the room, the events are captioned and ASL-interpreted, and you just need to grab a free registration ahead of time.
