Great Lakes Writers Corps (GLWC) Mass Meeting
Mass Meeting - Come Learn more!
The Great Lakes Writers Corps is a unique and generously funded experiential 3-part sequence (winter, summer, fall) offered by the University of Michigan English Department. Over the course of the program, which consists of two courses bookending an independent summer field work project, GLWC students learn how to research and compose purposeful, long-form journalistic stories on topics centering the experience of Great Lakes communities. Students will develop their own takes on these topics through immersive investigation of the region’s geography, ecosystems, cultural history, politics, and/or connection to the concept of home.
