English Department Picnic recap

The English Department Picnic was a success! No longer trapped in the black boxes of zoom, professor and students were able to talk face to face. First year students were able to see what the English department is all about. Dream courses were proposed, Harry Potter classes were discussed. Here are some of the highlights:

The sun was shining on us

Big smiles!

Students check out the anti-social corner

Students welcome Dr. Kimberly Takahata to Villanova! She's teaching a course on American Literary Traditions #1, as well as a core literature and writing course on race and ethnicity in American literature this semester.
