Honors Week is always an exciting time for Widener English & Creative Writing as we celebrate the accomplishments of our students. The week begins every year with the induction of new members into our honor society, Sigma Tau Delta.  (Photos credited to Michael Cocchiarale.)

Then, on Thursday night, members of this year’s Creative Writing Senior Seminar—Jennifer Rohrbach, Haley Poluchuk, and Taylor Blum—organized one of our most successful open mics ever.  Taylor Blum emceed, and the evening included readings from several Widener English & Creative Writing alums.  It was standing-room only for poetry, fiction, and music.  (Most of the photos credited to Michael Cocchiarale.)
