Biography
The Department of the Writing Seminars began as the Department of Writing, Speech and Drama in the fall of 1946. By 1953, the Department had grown to include eight faculty members and was granting the Bachelor of Arts as well as the M.A. degree, when the administration decided to terminate the speech and drama aspects of the program. The writing classes were made into a new and smaller department called the Writing Seminars.
As of 2016, the department chair is David Yezzi.
