The Visiting Writers Series, sponsored by the Department of English, is currently in its thirteenth year. Since the beginning, four to six well-published authors have come to campus each academic year to present a reading of their work to the faculty, students, and the public. The series is funded by the College of Liberal Arts and such organizations as the Birke Symposium and the West Virginia Humanities Council.
