ENGLISH/CULTURAL CENTER
Presented by Hofstra University’s Department of English in collaboration with the Hofstra Cultural Center.
Launched by Hofstra University in recognition of the importance of writing and literature in a liberal arts education, Great Writers, Great Readings events bring notable authors to campus to meet with creative writing students for a short workshop and question/answer session. Authors may also conduct a reading and book signing that is open to the public. Sometimes the authors use this forum as an opportunity to introduce new unpublished works.
