Get a great dinner. Get a new perspective on writing. Get to know a professor in a fun, informal setting. Those are three reasons you should attend “Dinner and a Draft,” coming up on Tuesday, February 16, from 6:30-8:00, at the Dean of the Ingram Commons Residence!

Our guest of honor will be William Luis, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Spanish and Director of the Latino & Latina Studies. Professor Luis is a prolific author and a widely recognized authority on Latin American, Caribbean, Afro-Hispanic, and Latino U.S. literatures. On February 16, Professor Luis will be sharing his own struggles with and insights into the writing process with us and eager to be part of a conversation with you about yours.

So come join the Writing Studio and our host Vanessa Beasley for “Dinner and a Draft.” Sit down with us for a meal, talk about the challenges and rewards of getting words on the page, and take advantage of this chance to get to know Professor Luis and pick his brain about writing. It’s going to be a fantastic evening.

Space is limited, so reserve a spot soon here.
