Our Community
Residency Offerings
In accordance with larger mission of the program, residency experiences at 吃瓜tv offer students flexibility and variety.
Our in-person residency experience takes place twice during each academic year. During these four-day, intensive residency experiences, students participate in workshops, seminars, lectures, panel discussions, individual meetings with mentors, and public readings.
To foster a continued sense of community throughout the academic year, we also host two weekend-long online residency periods during each semester. These residency experiences also allow students to participate in a variety of academic programming from current faculty, as well as diverse offerings from professionals across the field of creative writing.
