Good morning and welcome back Red Wolves!

Here are our Spring 2024 hours! 7PM-10PM sessions will be by appointment only, but as usual all other hours are fair game for scheduled appointments + walk-ins. Have a great semester! We can’t wait to help you accomplish your best writing! ✍️❤️

Thank you to all the students who attended and presented at the First-Year Composition Colloquium! It was a great day of showcasing student research projects!

The “Spooky at Story” event was a great success! Thank you to Abby Frisby for her organizing skills and to all the National Day on Writing committee members and to Tabatha Simpson-Farrow for leading the committee.

Attention all you spooky season lovers! As part of National Day on Writing, the A-State Writing Center is putting on an event at Story Coffee House on October 20th! Come out from 6-8 that night for a costume contest, candy apples, and spooky stories! Did we mention the costume contest comes with prizes? 😏 The first place prize is coming from our wonderful Story Coffee House ☕️, second place from Verb Bookstore, and third from Wicked Suds🔮👻!!! We can’t wait to see you there!

Hello everyone!
My name is Dr. Kristen Ruccio, and I'm the Director of First Year Writing and an Assistant Professor of English at A-State. We are engaging in a self-study of the department for a report due in January 2024, and one of my duties is gathering information about graduates from our program. Could you send me a blurb (maybe paragraph) about what you've been up to since graduating from A-State and how your degree impacts your job?
If you've got questions or you're ready to send in the information, my email is [email protected]. The information will be used in our report to The Office of Assessment. While external reviewers (2 English professors and/or administrators from other universities) will read the self-study, the final report is an internal document. To further preserve your privacy, I will keep the original information secured in my office, and I will use pseudonyms instead of your names in the self-study and final report. I would like to gather this information over the next 2-4 weeks, so please send the information by 31 October. Thank you so much!

We are so excited that A-State Tributary has published its first digital edition!!! It is available via PDF now and will also be on Apple iBooks soon!

The Tributary Everything you need to help you understand how to apply, register and get involved on campus can be found on our website.

Our Making Connections class had a great time raising money and awareness about the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society!

Today from 11-1 on The Lawn of the Reng Center, the Making Connections class will be raising money and awareness about the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society. Our goals are to raise no less that $200 for NEAHS and to inform the public of how they can support the shelter. You can donate via cash, CashApp, Venmo, Paypal, or by purchasing a beverage. And did I mention puppies? Please come out and support our students and their engagement with their local community.

Come celebrate the National Day on Writing with us on the second floor of the Student Unioon near the information desk!!!
Hear speakers, listen to poetry, write flash fiction! We're here until 2:00!!!
