Congratulations to Maranda Loughlin, outstanding graduate student 2020! Her award was presented during a virtual ceremony this evening (pictured below).

Please join recent Creighton English alumni Anna Bailey, Dave DeMarco, Krysta Larson, and Jaxson Schneider at this year's Unlimited Opportunities English panel, which takes place from 7-8 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18 in Skutt 105. This is an excellent opportunity for current students to network with alumni from our department.

Come help us celebrate (or oppose?) Valentine's Day by attending the Shadows Romantics vs. Realists Reading this Thursday, February 13, from 5-6:30 at the Skutt Fireplace. Come read your favorite love poem or anti-love poem (written by you or someone else), eat cookies, drink punch, and make some Valentines (or anti-Valentines). A sign-up sheet will be available at the event. See you there!

Thank you to all who came out for the ENG-461 film premiere tonight! Thank you especially to Drs. Faith Kurtyka and Rob Dornsife, who starred in the students’ films! Many thanks to the staff at the Backline Comedy Theatre - and all the comedians who performed for the students! Have a great Christmas break, everyone—
