World Poetry Day Open Mic: Celebrate the Global Power of Verse

Join us on Tuesday, March 10, for an early celebration of World Poetry Day, as the official date falls during Spring Break this year. The goal is to create a space where voices from across campus can share creative expression and engage with the rich traditions of world poetry. Enjoy a mix of planned readings and open-mic slots for anyone in our campus community who feels inspired to share in the moment.
