Ashland MFA Summer Residency

I’m the Interim Director for the Ashland MFA Program, and set up this year’s two-week Summer Residency. I couldn’t be prouder of how it’s shaken out.

Visiting Writer Series: Mat Johnson, Kari Gunter-Seymour, Ryan Van Meter
New faculty hired: Glenn Shaheen, Kelly Luce (and vets Naomi Williams, Kyle Winkler, Cass Donish)
Visiting panelists/speakers: Patrick Lay, Annmarie Kelly-Harbaugh, Elizabeth Dark, Adam Gellings

I also sat on 10 MFA Thesis Committees, read one night, and spoke at opening ceremony and graduation.

This was an unmitigated success. I couldn’t be prouder of every aspect of the Residency.
