Creative Writing
J-Term in Paris

“ Exploring the city with other students helped me grow not only as a writer, but as a young person in the world finding her voice. I wouldn’t change one part of my experience!” – Delaynna Corley,

Paris, Baldwin, Hemingway, the quiet conversations over cafe tables--it all felt like a mosaic of inspiration and reflection, each piece essential to the whole. This isn't just about becoming a better writer--it's about becoming more attuned to the world and yourself.  -Teanna White, Poetry

"Living, studying, simply walking in the same spaces Baldwin inhabited while reading Giovanni's Room felt deeply affirming and liberating. My writing feels forever changed."

-De'Andre Holmes, MFA Fiction Writing

"Not only was Paris a great place to explore, but it was a great place to write. Studying abroad opened new doors to my creativity and growth as a writer and as a person."

-Ash Elise, Fiction Writing

“Creative Writing in Paris was hands down my best and most inspiring academic experience." 

-Bridget Botchway Bradley,

This program was my introduction to a creative writing class and I absolutely loved the experience of studying in a city as vibrant and rich in art as Paris. I connected with new ways of seeing and writing.

"The Paris J-term, the readings, the discussion, and the city, made for significant growth in myself as a writer, reader, and globally conscious citizen." -Madeline McConico, MFA Creative Writing

“I think the best thing I’ve done in college was go on this trip. I  developed significantly as a writer and as a creative, and was able to experience something new and exciting that has encouraged me to be more outgoing in my everyday life." Madeleine Heil, Creative Writing

 “This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. You get to enrich yourself with a plethora of art, while actively talking about and engaging deeply with your and others’ writing. It was one of the most collaborative experiences I’ve had as a creative writing student.” -Manuel Nocera
