This semester, our chapter will be sending a small group of students to the EWB-USA national conference from November 8-11 in San Francisco.

This is a great opportunity to network, learn more about EWB-USA and the project process, get training in project execution through various workshops and discussions, and more.

The students who attend will also be presenting to the rest of the chapter on what they learned and how the knowledge can be applied to better our chapter.

The Department of English kicks off the 2018–19 Literary Reading Series with The Black Ladies Brunch Collective (BLBC), a group of Maryland-based poets whose mission is to promote and inspire the voices of Black women.

The mission of the Black Ladies Brunch Collective, founded in 2014 in Washington, D.C., is to promote and inspire the voices of Black women — who have been, as a population, historically marginalized and silenced. BLBC recognizes the artistic work of Black women, and encourages and fosters collaboration between them. BLBC serves the whole artistic community but specifically aims to inspire under-privileged/under-represented/women of color. BLBC wishes to serve as a model for other black women writers who desire to create social and professional communities that not only support their creative development but also enrich and maintain their spirits.

Admission is free. A book signing and refreshments will follow the event.
