Doesn't it feel like forever since we've been together? WordSpring 2022 is a reprise of plans set forth in 2020, which had to be cancelled due to Covid19 restrictions. But we're back, and we have a great lineup of workshops and presenters, including our fabulous keynote speaker Lesley Crewe. Register soon! WordSpring 2022 is only six weeks away.
Please note: Face masks are required on campus including residence. Masks can be removed when you are seated and eating, and when in your own room.
