Tickets to an Intimate Dinner with Toni Morrison on Sept. 21

ByGWEnglish

By special arrangement with the folks organizing Toni Morrison’s upcoming campus visit (thank you, Prof. Evelyn Schreiber!), the English department has obtained several seats for undergraduates to attend a dinner with Prof. Morrison before her talk at Lisner Auditorium on Monday 9/21 at 8 p.m. This dinner is by invitation only and is for fewer than 20 students, so it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend time with one of our greatest living writers.

Undergraduate English majors who would like to have dinner with Prof. Morrison should email, by tonight (Monday 9/12) at midnight, a “tweet” to Prof. Wald. That is to say, email Prof. Wald an explanation in 140 characters or fewer of why you want to have dinner with Toni Morrison.

Profs. Schreiber and Wald will judge the entries and announce the winners of our Dinner with Toni Morrison contest on Tuesday.

Please note that this special invitation is for undergraduate English or English and Creative Writing majors ONLY. Tweets must be received by midnight to be eligibile.
