Prufrock!

Junior English major Alex Forgione was part of last night's Prufrock event.  She reports:
The event had a great turn out and it was a lot of fun! After we read the poem aloud, professors  Javadizadeh and Quigley shared some fascinating background information about the poem and T. S. Eliot. Then, we broke up into groups and discussed specifics about the poem. All of our conversations were very productive and insightful;  hopefully we inspired some people to declare English as a major!
