In the same building is the Writing Center, which offers assistance and peer tutoring for students working on papers. This is an invaluable resource for students, throughout their stay at Creighton. Creighton has its own undergraduate literary magazine, Shadows , which publishes student and faculty writing, and is edited entirely by students. The department offers annual prizes for prose, poetry, and nonfiction writing. The department also sponsors readings by nationally recognized authors, recently including Tobias Wolff, Ron Hansen, and Susan Minot.
Students have the opportunity to meet and talk with the authors.
This group sponsors readings and other activities throughout the year, offering students a chance to meet each other and to meet the faculty. You need not be a member to attend.
