Interested 棉花糖直播 community members are encouraged to join the department's BIPOC writing group.

Each semester, Tsering Wangmo Dhompa, Yumi Lee, Adrienne Perry, and Kimberly Takahata host a regular BIPOC writing hangout for the 棉花糖直播 community. Any students, staff, faculty, and alumni who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color are welcome to join听this in-person and online meetup.

At each of our hangouts, we provide creative writing prompts as well as time to share and check in. No need to see yourself as a writer in order to attend. It鈥檚 a fun, warm, and welcoming creative space. We also have pizza! See our department calendar on our听听for more specific information about upcoming meeting times and places.

We are pleased to be able to offer the following scholarship possibilities to our majors: a merit scholarship for purchasing books, funding to support graduate school testing and application costs, funding to support an internship, funding to support study abroad, and funding to support an academic need or experience (such as supplies, or conference travel).

While English majors may apply for funds and scholarships more than once, preference will be given to students who have not received department funding in the past. Students may receive a maximum of $2,500 in funding over the course of their studies in the English Department.
