Residencies - Sundress Publications The Sundress Academy for the Arts (SAFTA) is now accepting applications for short-term artists’ writing residencies for creatives and academics.

Hello, alums and current students! Would you be willing to help us out with something? We are creating a brochure for admissions events and would like to include some words from students past and present. In the brochure, we want to focus on our department as a place of possibilities for students--a place with innovative courses, innovative teachers, and hopefully lessons and skills that stick. Would you be willing to post here or share over private message a sentence or two about some of the possibilities that our department opened up for you or allowed you to glimpse? In other words, what makes an English class at Lawrence special? Please feel free to be specific or general: to talk about particular classes or professors or even assignments or activities, or to focus on more general skills that you've found useful in courses and/or your career.

And whether you post here or send us a message, please do include your graduation year. Thanks; it takes a village!
