Last week, two events on campus gave students, faculty and staff opportunities to gather and celebrate both the new school year and the Department of ENWL’s commitment to Millersville’s EPPIIC Values. Check out the Upcoming Events list at the end of this post for next week’s activities!

Games for Learning

Our Games for Learning event, hosted by Creative Writers Guild and George Street Press, gave students a chance to play literature and language themed games, enjoying some snacks and pizza while getting to know each other. This low-key event is a great way to kick-off the new semester and engage with ENWL topics in a fun way! If you couldn’t make it, that’s ok – you can connect with Creative Writers Guild and GSP on Instagram (cwg_mu , mu_georgestreetpress) or on Get Involved! Millersville’s site for clubs and student orgs.

 

An EPPIIC Night

The annual State of the ‘Ville this past Friday also includes the presentation of the 2024 EPPIIC Awards. These awards recognize Millersville University employees who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to representing MU’s EPPIIC Values: Exploration, Professionalism, Public Mission, Integrity, Inclusion and Compassion.

We had a record number of nominations for ENWL faculty members across multiple categories: Exploration, Dr. Katarzyna Jakubiak; Professionalism, Dr. Nicole A Pfannenstiel; Integrity, Dr. Emily Baldys and Dr. Justin Mando (Team); Inclusion, Dr. Emily Baldys; Compassion, Dr. Jill Craven. Check out the heartfelt nominations from students here.

Congratulations to our nominees – we are so proud to have such EPPIIC faculty!
