Class of 1978 Pavilion, Kislak Center (Van Pelt Library sixth floor)

In addition to pondering the meaning and mystery of the term, we’ll welcome our newest cohort of M.A. and Ph.D. students to the department; learn more about Paul Saint-Amour’s latest work (as this year’s faculty speaker); announce the winners of our graduate writing prizes; and gather for food and drink at our post-event reception on the Class of ’78 Pavilion.
