WKU English Club
The WKU English Club is a student-run organization that's focused on the culture and community of what it means to be a part of the English Department at WKU. As a member of the club you'll get a chance to form personal and professional connections to make your experience more fun and connected. You don't even have to be an English major to join, only share our passion for literature, writing, and the humanities.
WHEN DOES ENGLISH CLUB MEET? (updated summer 2021)
During the 2020-2021 year English Club met virtually for all events. There are no set dates for meetings for the fall term, but officers will decide on and publicize the meeting times/schedule once we have a clearer understanding of the situation for the fall. Historically, the first meeting of the semester will be in mid-September.
Off campus readings to be announced.

GOLDENROD POETRY CONTEST
Goldenrod is the English Club's annual poetry festival in which students submit up to five poems for consideration.

The guest poet provides all ten finalists with a workshop and focuses specifically on their submitted works.
