The @SpfldCollege Class of 2020 has started to make their way home. Here's English/@COSJatSC major and Sigma Tau Delta member receiving his well-earned honors cord.
He also returned Professor Lartigue's copy of Hamlet.

@COSJatSC major @irenerrotondo couldn't have done a better job introducing Dr. Gounder at last night's Arts & Humanities Speakers Series. She made our department very proud!
Members of ENGL 377: History of the English Language tried on replica armor like that depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry which commemorates the momentous historical events of 1066, which catalyzed a number of radical changes to the English language.
The masks are a nice touch!
We had a great time meeting with potential @SpfldCollege students at Sunday's Open House! Fingers crossed that some of yesterday's new faces join our community next fall.

On Thursday night, members of the campus community gathered (safely) for a phenomenal reading by our own Professor @jsdymond. Can you spot the alums in the crowd?
Students in Professor @jsdymond 's Reading and Writing Fiction class got a chance to embrace the more playful side of writing at Samuel Bolden Park, a wonderful new addition to the SC neighborhood.
We are very excited about this event. For a preview of Dr. Gonzales' work, check out his Poets page: poets.org/poet/jose-b-gonzal…. If you can't make it to campus, you can watch his reading here: youtu.be/bt8iSxEkRZI
Professor Eaton's College Writing class took advantage of yesterday's weather for an al fresco class.

@TheSpfldStudent 's faculty and staff have been hard at work on the first issue of the 2021 school year. We can't wait for it to hit Alden Street!

Just in case you needed a reminder that @kylebelanger1 is doing awesome things with his summer, check out @SpfldCollege's Photo of the Day.
@COSJatSC's ongoing relationship with @Hoophall provides great opportunities for our faculty and students!
100 years ago this summer, students were helping to clear the lot that would become our beloved Weiser Hall. If you look closely, you'll see that they were working for coffee and donuts. Some things never change. #WeiserCentennial

Please join LWJ in celebrating the publication of
@jsdymond's new book, The Emigrant and Other Stories! It's an extraordinary read with beautiful gestural detail that makes us realize how observant Dr. Dymond is. Available on bookstore.com.
It's been a big publication week for LWJ! Congrats to all who contributed to these amazing publications.

Our @college_honors ENGL 353 course will discuss Laura Korobkin's interview with @AnneBoydRioux as we wrap up *Little Women.* It's a good time to revisit (and rethink) the March sisters!
