Welcome (back) to BU: Activities Fair Coverage
Hi everybody, and welcome to Bloomsburg University. If you’re
returning, welcome back! Since this is obviously the English Department blog,
covering any and all things related, we’re kicking off this semester with a
recap of some of the great organizations related to the English Department.
WALES (Writing and Literacy Engagement Studio) is probably
the best place to get help with any kind of writing project you’ll have this
semester. The yellow bookmarks this WALES rep is holding in the pic are too
little to read on screen, but they list available hours in Andruss Library
(Schweiker Room), Bakeless 206, and Elwell Hall (N219). Check out their full
schedule at http://bloomu.edu/wales for their
full hours schedule, or email them at wales@bloomu.edu
for an appointment.
Warren, the campus Literary and Art journal, just had their
70th anniversary last year of the journal existing on campus (under various
names). They’re holding their initial meeting Thursday, August 29, in Bakeless,
so be sure to swing by and hear about all the cool things they’re doing this
semester. These lovely ladies are showing the most recent edition of the journal,
which is completely student-published, and also completely free, so ask them
for any extras they may have lying around. Check out their website: http://warrenliteraryjournal.wordpress.com/
NCTE stands for the National Council of Teachers of English,
and they “amplify the voice of educators through personal connection,
collaboration, and a shared mission to improve the teaching and learning of
English and language arts at all levels” (http://www2.ncte.org/).
Check them out if you’re on the Secondary Ed English track.
The Voice, the campus newspaper, prints every Thursday and
is always looking for new “voices” in their sections. Check them out online at http://buvoice.com/, especially if you're a writer looking for something to talk about.
Other pics and tables from the fair:
Table Top Gaming club, representing;
The Anime and Manga club was doing really well;
The Sci Fi club, having a blast (and apparently learning the
ukulele);
Active Minds in health and wellness was so busy I could barely
get a picture;
The LGBTQA table had FREE pride flags!
The Women’s Resource Center, perfectly posing;
And the whole fair!
Here's to the start of a great semester.
