About

DePaul's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta (the international English honor society) and the English Graduate Student Association are soliciting papers from English/Writing undergraduate and graduate students for the first annual student research colloquium, a forum meant to facilitate discussion on student work. Current students will present research from the fields of language, literature, and rhetoric and composition, research that has been undertaken while at DePaul.

The event will be held at DePaul University's Lincoln Park Campus on Friday, May 11 at 6:00pm.
