The Lecture Pass
What is a "Lecture Pass?"
Members of the greater Hamline University community (including current MFA in Creative Writing/MALS students and alum) have the opportunity to register for a "Lecture Pass," which grants access to any or all of the faculty and guest lectures. Note: All readings are free and open to the public.
What lectures are offered during this residency? - - UPDATED!
How do I register for the Lecture Pass?
Complete the Lecture Pass/Audit Registration Form (below) and return it, with payment ($500), to the Graduate School of Liberal Studies. Contact information is on the form.
How many lectures do I have to come to during the residency?
You can come to as many or as few lectures as you are able to. There are also some "seminars" and "presentations" open to you; however, only the events listed on the lecture schedule (above) are open to Lecture Pass holders.
What is a "mini-course?"
Effective summer 2008, the core curriculum will be divided into five topic areas, each of which will be presented across multiple genres and age groups. Some of the elements of the craft will be presented via lectures, some via seminars, some via a multi-day mini-course. In our upcoming residency in July, we will have a six-day mini-course on Characterization. There will be two, one-hour sessions on Characterization in the Picture Book, two on Characterization in Fiction, and two on Characterization in Nonfiction.
NOTE: Section A of each Characterization session is open to Lecture Pass holders.
How many times can I sign up for a lecture pass? Can I get credit for it?
You may sign up for the lecture pass as many times as you please, provided space is available. There will be some residencies for which a Lecture Pass will not be available. No academic credit is offered for Lecture Pass attendees.
