A self-paced learning experience, free and open to all.
The Experience
Join professor Jennifer Brice and fellow Colgate faculty as they explore the work of nine exciting writers throughout the fall 2020 semester.
I appreciate that my college is creating this opportunity for me to engage intellectually with prominent writers, along with a Colgate professor and other students of all ages.
