The English Club is for all students on campus, regardless of major, who enjoy reading and writing. The club encourages those who love literature and writing through a variety of events throughout the semester and during their meetings, which take place from 2-3 p.m. every other Wednesday in Raub 223. The English club’s various events allow for people of a broad range of interests to partake.
The first event held this semester was a pizza party mixer that allowed old members to relax and get together after their time apart. It was also an opportunity for the new members to be welcomed into the group.
The second event was a creative writing event. Every student was given an object and told to write a story relating to that object, then share the concept of their stories to the group.
The next event was a ‘bring your own book’ event. Each member brought their favorite book with them to the meeting in order to discuss and share with others.
Spooky Story Day was their fifth meeting of the semester. They had candy, cupcakes and apple cider to enjoy while they shared their scary stories.
Their next event is going to be their annual literary field trip. The English Club is returning to Salem, MA for the weekend of Nov. 11. The club visits multiple places on their Salem trip, including Hawthorne’s ‘The House of the Seven Gables.’
There are also literature-themed trivia and game nights during the semester, where all of the members can gather together and enjoy friendly competition.
This club has an event to peak the interests of its members and is always looking for new people to join and new event ideas. Anyone who wishes to join the English Club can visit or e-mail Dr. Cummings at tcummin2@lockhaven.edu.
