Visiting Writers
In addition to classroom instruction, Randolph students learn about the craft of writing from working writers.
The Visiting Writers program brings professional writers to campus throughout the academic year. Coming from a variety of backgrounds and genres (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, journalism, play writing, etc.), Visiting Writers conduct workshops, visit classes, give public and private readings, and conduct book signing sessions.
Students have direct contact with writers in an open environment where no question is off limits.
