Undergraduate
Undergraduate English Association
The Undergraduate English Association was founded in Fall 2001. Our mission is to: (1) create community among English majors; (2) facilitate communication between students and faculty in the English department; (3) provide forums for creative expression and exchange of ideas; and (4) work toward improving the effectiveness of the English degree plan. We pursue these goals through regular general meetings, social gatherings, a Speaker Series, curriculum-related surveys, and both writing and book discussion groups. For more information contact Carolyn Calabrese at zhiggy509@hotmail.com.
Our 2008-2009 officers are:
