This is a flexible schedule that differs to some extent each day. Some mornings, instead of workshops, we hold individual conferences so students may meet with faculty one-on-one. On the last evening, Workshop participants read from their own work.

We also spend time off-campus, taking advantage of cultural and recreational opportunities in the Granville and Columbus areas, such as trips to the Columbus Museum of Art, hikes in the Dawes Arboretum or Denison’s bio-reserve, swimming, ice cream, and bowling. There is also plenty of downtime for socializing and--of course--for writing!

We celebrate the end of the week with a Sunday banquet for students and their families.
