Segue Features New Creative Writing MFA |
|
| |
At SIUE, one of the institution’s long-term goals includes developing enhanced curricula to support students’ learning. In 2017, the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and Department of English Language and Literature announced it would begin offering a master’s of fine arts in creative writing, allowing graduate students the opportunity to pursue careers as poets or fiction writers in academia or in other writing-related fields. At the beginning of the fall 2018 term, the MFA program welcomed its first class of students.
On this week’s episode of Segue, SIUE’s premier radio show, co-host Greg Budzban, PhD, CAS dean, speaks with Department of English Language and Literature Associate Professor Josh Kryah, PhD, and Assistant Professor Tiana Clark, MFA. The trio shares an introspective conversation about the professors’ journey to campus and the power behind the written word.
This episode of Segue will air at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30, on WSIE 88.7 FM The Sound.
