Open Writing Sessions
Monday, February 20
Session 1: 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Session 2: 3-4 p.m.
The Creative Writing Program is facilitating two Open Writing Sessions to reflect and connect on Monday (Virtual).

These sessions are not a part of any course or lesson.
These sessions will be facilitated and moderated by Creative Writing instructors. It is open to MSU Students.
What this is:
A space to write and share writing in the wake of crisis, led by writers.
What this is not:
A counselling or therapeutic event led by mental health professionals.
What you can expect:
Quiet reflective writing
Reading aloud of work by peers (according to participant needs)
