English Department
“The universe is made up of stories, not atoms.” Muriel Rukeyser

Students in English classes will encounter the work of historically and culturally significant writers. They will bring to class the experiences of their generation, the stamp of their own lives, and the ability to express their own voices. The English Department guides students in their use of writing and literature as a way to make sense of experience, to bring order to chaos, to understand self and the world, and to communicate effectively. When students take classes in the English Department, they grow their skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking and thinking in a nurturing and challenging environment.
