Parent & Family Engagement 

In order for students to achieve maximum success in our program, it's vital for Creative Writing guardians to become involved in department activities.   The Creative Writing Department provides families with many unique opportunities to be involved. The support of our volunteers is an essential part of our department’s success. We ask that each family volunteers at least once during each academic year. We understand life is busy, so we try to make sure that volunteer opportunities vary in time and level of commitment. We ask each volunteer to complete our form here
