The Readings, Writings and All that Jazz (RWAJ) series seeks presenters for our spring series. During the four-week event, at least eight faculty and staff members will present their talents in various areas, such as academic papers, personal essays, creative writing, music performance, song, dance and even dramatic presentations. Presentations can cover your personal journey in pursuing your career, why you decided to become a college professor, a significant trip that has had an impact on you, or a personal philosophy that may inspire students. These presentations will not only engage students and the whole Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) family but also inspire many of our students in their own creative and professional pursuits.
Each week, two faculty or staff members present for up to 30 minutes each, including Q&A, in Cisco Auditorium in front of students, faculty and staff. Light refreshments are served afterward.
All GGC faculty and staff, except student workers, may present at our series. We are currently seeking presenters for the dates below from 3:30-5 p.m.:
- Thursday, April 2
- Thursday, April 9
- Thursday, April 16
If you are interested in presenting, or if you have any questions, please reply to Dr. Susan Bleyle, associate professor of English, and include the type of presentation you want to offer and your preferred date(s). We often get more requests to present than we have room for, but if that is the case, we will put you on a priority list for future semesters. We also encourage faculty members to bring their classes to attend this wonderful series.
