MFA Reading Series

Verses, visions, and vulnerabilities. That really sums up this reading series.

These events are free and open to the public; sponsored by the Hearst Visiting Scholars Fund and the Klein Family Fund.

The reading series was launched in Fall 2006. Our schedule includes two student readings per academic year as well as full-time and adjunct faculty readings.

All events will take place in the Hilda and Michael Bogomolny Room, on the 5th floor of the UBalt Student Center (21 W. Mt. Royal Ave.).
