It was great to see everyone who came out for our rather chilly Spring Pre-Reception Registration in Driscoll Tent on Friday. A special to English majors Ashley Park and Autumn Anderson for talking to us about their summer internships!

Fall 2020 Pre-Registration Reception: Report and Photos

Villanova English's Fall 2020 Pre-Registration Reception took place in Driscoll Tent on Friday, November 30, bringing together more that 40 students and English Faculty members. As a tribute to Louise Gluck, the American poet who recently won the Nobel Prize for Literature, poems by Gluck were attached to the boxed lunches. During the lunch, two English majors, Mike Keeley and Meghan Edwards, shared information about their recent internships working for a political advertising agency and the staff of a congressional campaign respectively. Next, Tia Parisi, the student editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Ellipsis explained the vision of the magazine and invited student volunteers and submissions. English faculty also talked about our new English courses for the spring, and department chair Dr. Heather Hicks, reminded students about the Internship Advising that is now available, by appointment, with English Program Coordinator Mike Malloy (michael.malloy@villanova.edu). We ended with a raffle of literary prizes and the reading of a MadLib by Dr. Alice Dailey. Throughout the event, a table staffed by  Student Advisory Council members Calista Huang and Amanda Atkinson answered questions for students interested in the major or minor.
